A ceremony was held recently at the Asgiri Temple premises in Kandy to bless those who were involved in the ‘Paramitha’ tele drama series. ‘Paramitha’ is based on the ‘Pansiya Panas Jathaka’ stories and has been telecast for two years. This marks the first time when a tele drama has received such blessings from the three chapters of Malwatu, Asgiri and Ramannya.

State banking giant People’s Bank too received a special award of felicitation for the Bank’s sponsorship of the series. Picture shows Mr. M. Wickramasinghe, Chief Executive Officer/General Manager receiving the award from Anamaduwe Dhammadassi thero, the secretary of the Asgiri Sangha Sabhawa.
