The Duruthu Perahera is one of the grandest pageants in Sri Lanka from 1927. It is special to the Kelaniya Temple because it was the day Lord Buddha hallowed this ground on his first visit to the island. The Perahera on the first day is called the Uda Maluwa Perahera, which is on a low-key, but the second day’s procession is magnificent.

February

Navam Perahera is the only procession that takes place in the Colombo city reflecting Sri Lanka’s rich artistry and heritage. The perahera is of great religious significance and is an enthralling display with caparisoned elephants, dancers and drummers from the island’s three dance forms: Udarata, Pahatharata and Sabaragamuwa.
