The Great Pageant of Asia - Kandy Procession
As we all know The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic in Kandy, Sri Lanka is one of the main tourist attractions from time immemorial. Annually, in order to pay homage to this Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha a great pageant is organized by the custodian of the tooth relic. This is called “Perehara” in our own language and can be translated as “Procession” in to English.
This pageant is attracted by many a tourists from everywhere in the world. It is customary for some tourists to visit Sri Lanka annually to watch this great pageant. This is special because, not only humans but also hundreds of elephants take part in this annual cultural event. The sound effects, beautifully dressed elephants, well trained dancers and other cultural elements can take the spectators to another world for a few hours!
There are many videos done to showcase the procession itself. But this video is quite different in the sense, it shows what is done inside the temple of tooth before starting the great pageant. There are many rituals to be followed before it starts to go along the streets of the Kandy town. This time I got a chance to visit Temple Tooth or “Maligawa” to see these rituals. These rituals are being performed for five consecutive days and after that only the procession starts to pageant along the streets.
I thought to share some views of these rituals with you in this video and hope you enjoy this new experience!
For my husband and me Kandy is like our home itself and we never forget to visit “Maligawa” most of the times when we are in Kandy. So, to add the human flavor and to make the video more authentic I did not forget add some photos from the beautiful sunny days we spent together in and out of the Temple of Sacred Tooth Relic in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
With Love,
Amila & Prasadi
