Vesak Festival

If you happen to be in Sri Lanka towards the beginning of May you will note that the whole island is decorated with colourful Vesak lanterns, big and small colourfully decorated pandals, religious celebrations throughout the island in order to commemorate the birth, enlightenment and the passing away of Buddha that took place on the very same day.

Esala Perahera

As the full moon phase approaches July - August, preparations gather pace in the Sri Lankan hill town of Kandy. A riotous homage to the island’s revered ‘Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha’, the event centres on a series of spectacular processions featuring lavishly decorated elephants, dancers, musicians, drummers, fire juggling monks, whip crackers and stilt walkers, all decked out in traditional Kandyan costume. The Cascades of fairy lights adorn the trees and temples lining the route of the parades, which take place after dark to create a fabulously exotic spectacle.
