Discover Kandy’s incredible Esala Perahera festival in Sri Lanka
In Kandy, on full-moon nights, Esala Perahera is celebrated, the most iconic and renowned Buddhist festival in Sri Lanka. Considered one of the most authentic expressions of Sinhalese culture, it lasts ten days filled with splendour and devotion. During this time, the country's most sacred and closely guarded relic, its true crown jewel, leaves the temple: the revered tooth of the Buddha.
