Kandy Perahera ends
The streets of Kandy were illuminated with colour and sound of rhythmic drums filled the air as the final day of the Esala Randoli Perahera concluded last night.
Thousands gathered along the streets to witness the grand procession marking the end of one of Sri Lanka’s most revered cultural celebrations.
The Diyawadana Nilame of the Sri Dalada Maligawa Neelanga Dela Bandara and other Basnayake Nilames called on President Anura Kumara Dissanayake at the President's House in Kandy to inform about the conclusion of the event.
The President emphasised the importance of preserving and promoting the sacred Sri Dalada Perahera procession as a vital cultural heritage.
Highlighting the active participation of youth and children in the procession, he stressed the need to protect and nurture this tradition for future generations.
