The Katina Anisansa, Unique benefits from a single offering

In the words of Buddha, this is the noblest religious activity for Buddhists in which limitless merit is accumulated. ‘Katina Cheewara’ are sacrificed or offered to monks
 ‘Katinaya’ is a web of cloth made in a day and night and presented to a Buddhist priest. ‘Katina Cheewaraya’ is a robe made of thick cloth to be worn during the oncoming wet and cold season.

 After completing the seventh Vas season in ‘Thawatisa’, Buddha returned to this world on the Vap Full Moon Day attended by Devas and Brahmas. According to Buddhist literature, Buddha decended from ‘Thawatisa’ to this world down a ladder made of ‘Sath Ruwan’ or seven precious things i.e. gold, silver, pearls, gems, cat’s eyes, gems, diamonds and coral. ‘Shad Varna’ i.e. an aggregate of six colours – Blue, Yellow, Crimson, White, Red and the colour formed by their combined radiance emanated from His body and formed into a halo around him.




 I WISH YOU PROSPERITY AND HAPPINESS
