DIMO introduced the 2022 corporate calendar depicting some of Sri Lanka’s most historic and significant achievements. As a means by which to be proud, while remembering the country’s rich and vibrant past, the DIMO 2022 corporate calendar is a pictorial recreation of some of Sri Lanka’s ancient
moments of glory.
The theme for the year 2022 is ‘Pride of a Nation’, showcasing the turning point in the history of Sri Lanka and parts of the lost historical marvels, war heroes, world-class steps in the economy, massive constructions, peaks in education, golden eras of literature and strength of unity found during hard times which has made Sri Lanka a great nation.
True to its purpose of fuelling dreams and aspirations, DIMO aims to showcase Sri Lanka’s rich heritage, which spans thousands of years like a bejewelled tapestry, serving as evidence of a highly sophisticated and cultured country. From awe-inspiring technological marvels to trading with countries around the world while being nourished by its own culture, ancient Sri Lanka was inimitably unique.
“We are looking to introduce these unfamiliar rich historical events to the public and recreate history by bringing these moments to life,” said DIMO Chairman/Managing Director Ranjith Pandithage speaking on the release of DIMO’s 2022 corporate calendar.
The pictorial depictions in DIMO’s 2022 corporate calendar include King Kashyapa and the Sigiriya Lion Gate (Grand Tradition Sculpture and Art), Mahathota (Ma-Thota), the natural port in Mannar, King Mahasen and the Construction of Weva (Grand Irrigation Works), King Parakramabahu I and the Naval Force (Seafaring in Ancient Sri Lanka), Mathula Alu Lena - writing of the Tripitaka (Scholarly Work) and many more historical and significant achievements in Sri Lanka.
DIMO’s 2022 corporate calendar is illustrated by Prasanna Weerakkody, a leading Sri Lankan artist who specializes in the reconstruction of Sri Lankan history and ancient lifestyles. As an ardent student of history, his work is widely accepted as highly accurate depictions of early Sri Lankan lifestyles.
