Celebrated annually in the month of Esala on the Sinhalese calendar, the Annual Tooth Festival, known as the Kandy Esala Perahera, occurs on the month believed to commemorate the first teachings of the Buddha after enlightenment. Running over 10 days and nights, it pays tribute to the sacred tooth relic of the Buddha, with over a million people visiting the town of Kandy for the procession of vibrant colours and lively ceremonies. Set to begin on July 23rd, the celebration is guaranteed to bring life and business to the town of Kandy, a city of culture and history. There are many places to visit in Kandy, and many tours and guide websites such as Kandy Escapes provide excellent information and details when visiting.
