About Dansal.lk
A free, community-driven map of dansals - the roadside stalls where Sri Lankans give away food and drink during Vesak and Poson - together with the illuminated thoran (pandols) and lantern zones that light up the island at the same time.
Why we built it
During festival season the whole island comes alive with generosity - but finding out what is happening near you has always meant word of mouth and luck.
We wanted a single, reliable place to see what is open tonight, what they are serving and how to get there - and to make it effortless for organisers to let their neighbours know.
What we stand for
- Free, forever
- The map and every listing are completely free to use - no account, no sign-up, no catch.
- Community-driven
- Listings come from organisers and visitors all over the island. The more people add, the better it gets.
- Reviewed & trusted
- Every submission is checked before it goes live, so what you see on the map is accurate.
