Kandy Esala Perahera is also called the festival tooth, a celebration across Sri Lanka. It is celebrated by more than just Buddhists, as the festive performances bring people together. The festive celebrations go on for ten days in either the month of July or August. The festival happens in Esala (July or August), which is the month that is believed to celebrate the first teaching given by Buddha after he attained enlightenment.
The Kandy Perahera starts with the Kap Situveema or also called the Kappa, in which a blessed young Jackfruit tree is rooted and re-planted. The vicinity of each of the four Devales is dedicated to the four guardian gods, Natha, Vishnu, Kataragama, and the goddess Pattini. Multiple processions are involved in this festival:
a. Kumbal Perahara: This is the first procession of Tooth Relic, which starts with the Kumbal Perahera, also called the Kumbal Procession. The first Kumbal Perahera is shown to infants so that it can drive away Evil Spells and ill will. It is a tradition that the ceremony parades the streets for five days.
b. Randoli Perahera: It is also known as the Randoli Procession and can be seen only with the procession of the Sacred Tooth Relic for five days every year in Kandy.
c. Maha Randoli Perahera is also known as the Grand Randoli Procession. The Maha Randoli Perahera is the final procession of the festival. It is the grandest procession of the festival. The elephants come with a garland and are decorated with gold and red-stitched costumes.
