Description

Kandy�s biggest attraction is the "Esala Perahara". It is a 10-day pagent which leads up to until the full moon of the month of July. --First of all the whip crackers crack their whips to announce the Perehera. Next comes the flag bearers carrying all kinds of flags, followed by an official who is called the Peramunerala riding on the first elephant. After them comes the drummers. The Gajanayake Nilame, who is a very high official, is the next in line.

I would have loved to have seen this event. I especially enjoyed my time in Kandy while visiting Sri Lanka.

It's a remarkable experience. There are lots of Tourists visit Kandy just to watch it... Who knows, you may plan your next visit around end of July.

Sri Lanka? Hey can you draw Celsius? she is a former leader of the Doom Patrol. An Indian Heroine who looked originally like Zeenat Aman or Praveen Babi. In the 1980s she ended up looking more like Mehr Jessia and Madhu Sapre. Cheers immortal-celsius@hotmail.com
