The Sacred Randoli Perahera of Kandy
The Kandy Randoli Perahara, a segment of the Esala Perahera is part of an ancient tradition that has been passed down from generations, ideally held in July or August, as July is the month to celebrate Lord Buddha’s first teaching, following his enlightenment. This ten-day festival is quite the sight to see for tourists and locals all across the country and therefore they will be at the convenience of booking domestic flights in Sri Lanka courtesy of trusted service, Cinnamon Air for a brief flight to Kandy. The onlookers gather in the streets of the sacred city of Kandy to capture a glimpse of this colourful festival of religious significance.
While the Kandy Perahera is set to commence on the 2nd of August 2022, it is carried out in various segments. The Kandy Kumbal Perahera takes place from 2nd to 5th August and the Kandy Randoli Perahera begins on the 7th of August and ceremonially ends the series on the 12th Of August.
