| The Esala Perehera, an unparalleled season not just for Kandy but for the whole country. The significance of this great event is to invoke blessings of the gods to give the farmers rain to cultivate their crops. This ritual is performed by carrying the sacred tooth relic of the Buddha through the city streets which is done with great ceremony. D.H. Lawrence after a brief stay on Dharmaraja Hill in 1922 wrote, “I didn’t like Ceylon - at least I liked looking at it - but not to live in.” But in his letter to Lady Asquith, he also went into raptures about the Kandy Perahera, “but wonderful to have known.” That been said for those of you who are yet to witness this magnificent event the Perehera is from 15th – 25th August.
