Astrology guides people to move in the right direction. It deals with different elements of human life, such as parenting, career, marriage, family, kids, health, finance, etc. In recent times, astrology has gained importance as many are turning to it for answers about their uncertain future.
Speaking on the announcement Arjun Ravindran, Managing Director, Astro-Vision Futuretech Pvt Ltd said, “We are living in an uncertain world, the current global situation has led to a lot of assumptions and for this reason there are many people that are resorting to astrology as a guiding force. We at Clickastro understand the importance of providing people with some certainty in life, therefore we are making sure that our in-depth reports are accessible to the people of Sri Lanka without any language constraints as we already have the astrological content in both Tamil and English.”
Thousands of Sinhalese users who visit Clickastro website had to choose from either the English or Tamil reports till now. But with the increased demands for vernacular reports, the decision was made to bring out the report in Sinhalese.
