Perahera 2018 - Kandy, Sri Lanka
I was in Sri Lanka during the festive period of the Perahera – the Festival of the Tooth. It is an annual Buddhist celebration that takes place each summer in Kandy, the religious capital of Sri Lanka. The festival is marked by ten nights of elephant processions through the city, accompanied by dancers. The event is held in honor of the Sacred Tooth Relic of the Buddha, a precious relic housed in the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy.
