Sri Lanka's spectacular show off culture where 70 elephants were paraded along with the stunds performed with burning fire

The Kandy esala Perahera in Sri Lanka is the oldest ritual in all of Asia. “Perahera” means procession. The Perahara event which is held every year in Kandy, is one such event where all religions come together to participate. The most important of this Perahera event is the traditional dances of Sri Lanka and beautifully decorated elephants were paraded all along the street and the elephant dances are also seen. This perahara will be held continuously for 10 days. The Kandy Perahera is one of the largest rituals of processing people on the planet, featuring elephants, drummers, monks, dancers, swordsmen, musicians, acrobats, fire-handlers, and whip-crackers clearing the way. It is Buddhism as ancient, exotic, and integrated with local belief as one can find.

Tourist across the continents come to see the spectacular show along with locals every year.
