The meeting will be conducted under the patronage of the Commissioner General of Buddhist Affairs.
A total of approximately 267 eligible officials, including members of the Maha Sangha, will cast their votes to select the new Diyawadana Nilame.
Since the British occupation of the Kandyan Kingdom, nineteen individuals have held this prestigious position. The newly appointed Diyawadana Nilame will serve until 2035, in accordance with the Temple and Devala Ordinance.
