This period lasts for the duration of a month until the following Poya Il in November. On Vap Poya 'Katina Cheea' or new robes are offered by aficionados of the Temples to Bhikkhus who watched the 'Vas' season and this is viewed as a standout amongst the most exemplary deeds in Buddhism. In fact the word 'Katina' implies unbreakable and alludes to the legitimacy picked up by offering this 'Katina Cheea' to one of the Maha Sangha.

It is taken in procession Katina Perahera alongside different blessings from the common people to the temple where the gift service happens. Vap Poya was huge notwithstanding during the life and times of Lord Buddha numerous hundreds of years back.
