The Navam Perahera, held annualy in February, displays the
rich religious and cultural tradition of Sri Lanka. Hundreds of monks clad in
colouful robes solemnly walking in the procession are a unique sight. Youth
clad in white carrying Buddhist flags march in front. Sacred relics housed in a
casket are carried by a majestic elephant on its back. Dancers display the
different types of dances prevalent in different parts of the country. So are
the drummers who exhibit their skill in handling numerous forms of drums. Many
elephants also participate.
