Dalada Perahera

 

We can see this Perahera in Kandy on month of August. One Tooth of Lord Buddha is put in a casket kept in the Dalada Maligawa. They say that the Relic is put in seven caskets. During the time of perahera one of the caskets is taken on a well decorated elephant. But they do not take the Tooth Relic at all. We can see this perahera going along the streets in Kandy. There are about sixty elephants walking slowly and they are also well decorated. Even the tourists come to see this Perahera.
