Sri Pada season start on every year's December the( Uduwap Poya day). It will terminate on
the Wesak Poya day next year to( May month). Sri Pada Mountain is also names as Samanola Kanda,
Samanola Mountain) and some peoples says it name is Adams peak. But Adams Peak is not correct name. Because it is Foot Print of lord Buddha. Is not a Adam's Foot.

Every year millions of pilgrims, irrespective of their religion, join the processions to
climb the Samanola Mountain to worship the foot print of the lord Buddha. If it is not for
worshiping, no one will climb the hill particularly in the night. I do not know whetherit
is hundred per sent true to believe that it has the holy value of owing the foot print of
Buddha on top of it even though the historical facts witness the incident.
For this reason, the pilgrims have a series of believes, expectations and myths about their
experience and sights of many events which are not common in their day to day life
Even though all of them are natural events, pilgrims understand them as events those
occur only in the Adams peak environment and many believe that such events have close
relationship to the foot print and the God Saman (Saman Deviyo)
The Ira Sevaya, (fluctuation of sun's images before sun rise) is one of the most beautiful
and colorful visual observation one can see in the world. When one observe the sky in the
early morning from the Adams peak, the eastern sky over the horizon changes its colors
very fast. So pilgrims can observe beautiful designs in the sky and changes of colors just
like the observations when he is in front of an expert painter
Mixed with all this coloring effect, the sun (apparently images of the sun) can be seen
above the horizon. It is not a single image, but plenty of them The images are seen in
different different locations before you see the actual sun above the horizon a little later
One who does not know what is really happening in the eastern sky, may believe that the
sun moves up and down several times to worship the Foot print of the Buddha as is
mentioned so in myths about Sri Pada. As it is not an easy thing to count the number of
visible images of the sun and most of the pilgrims including some veteran Buddhist
monks and learned professors use to say that Sun worships three times the Buddha's foot
step before its rises. As the event could not be explained with believable words not only
the laymen-pilgrims, but also religious pilgrims including Buddhist monks still have
believes of the God sun (Hiru Deviyo) worshipping the foot print of the Buddha before it
starts provision of energy to the world.
It is pathetic to see that some media personnel, Buddhist monks and learned professors
taking part in television programs broadcast from the Sri Pada still explain this event to
listeners without concerning the science behind these natural events.
This so called Ira Sevaya or the apparent movement of the sun before sun rise is not a site
special to Sri Pada or Sri Lanka b can be seen from any hill top and also from
airplanes, provided the clear sky environment is available over the eastern sky and the
observer is at a significantly high altitude. I have heard that special locations of top of.
