The Kandy Perahera, or the Esala Perahera, is a centuries-old Buddhist festival that honors the sacred relic of the tooth of the Buddha, known as the Sri Dalada. The event is organized by the Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy, which is considered one of the holiest sites in Buddhism. The festival typically takes place in July or August during the Esala full moon period and lasts for ten days. The highlight of the Perahera is the nightly processions that combine religious rituals with cultural performances, creating an unforgettable spectacle.
