Perahera

This is another major festival in Sri Lanka and is an illuminating experience for the tourists. Devoted to the glory of the Warrior God, Skandha, Perahera is best celebrated in Katarangama in the eastern part of Sri Lanka. Running through two weeks, this gala event is marked by processions in the month of July/August every year. The traveller can not help wonder at the fire walking act by the devotees to please the deity.

Visit the celebrations for a real good and pleasing time that is truly unmatched. You active participation will lead you to the better understanding of the religious aspects of this nation.
