Kandy
Esala Perahera -
Great Kandy Pageant in August
The Kandy Town,
bathed in dazzling and decorative lights is
beautiful!! All vantage points are brimming with
people. Yet, they are Silent. Except for the low
hum of whispering of some, they are silent.
Then, the hum increases. It is evident that the
waiting is finally over.
Arrival, before their eyes, of the Grandest
Pageant of all Sri Lanka, - The Kandy Perehera,
is imminent.
Everyone tries to listen over the increasing
hum. Then, they here it!
In this enchanting
Perehera, what will attract you most is the
presence of over a hundred Elephants clad in
beautiful garments decorated by multitudes of
glittering electric bulbs walking peacefully and
elegantly amidst the other performers. The
cynosure of all the Perehera no doubt, is the
Majestic Elephant of the ‘Palace of the Tooth
Relic' in its full regalia majestically and
gracefully treading to the rhythm of the drums
carrying the Tooth Relic, Sri Lanka's most
revered relic, enshrined in a golden casket.

Temple
of the
Tooth Relic
The ‘Palace of the
Tooth Relic’ or as some call it ‘The Temple of
the Tooth’ or as the Sri Lankans call it the
“Dalada Maligawa” originally built as two
storied and later made three storied by the same
King was built next to the King’s Palace in the
late 15th century. This Palace after undergoing
many repairs, renovations and innovations, still
stands today proudly and majestically when all
one can see of the King’s Palace are ruins
except for a small part now re-erected and is a
museum. The latest innovation to the ‘Palace of
the Tooth Relic’ is the golden canopy
constructed over the Relic Chamber in the
1980’s.
The Kandy
town is one of the most popular, one of the most
populated and one of the best towns in the country.
Kandy, popularly called the Hill Capital, is a very
picturesque area with a good climate and a good town.
With the presence of the all important “Dalada Maligawa”
or the ‘Palace of the Tooth Relic’ within its folds,
Kandy has become very famous the world over and attracts
great many tourists – local and foreign alike every day.
