Dear children,

We have many peraheras in our country. The Kandy perahera is the most
famous. Even the mini peraheras are a joy to witness. This month,
Colombo witnesses a huge perahera on the same lines as the Kandy
perahera. The pomp and pegeantry of the Gangarama perahera is hard to
reckon with.
The retinue of Kandyan dancers, the various drummers, and the stilt
walkers used in the perahera are a sight to behold. Thousand caparisoned
elephants parade the streets. We have more information for you in our
pages today. If you are in the vicinity of the Gangarama temple we are
sure you would not miss witnessing this amazing perahera.
Bye for now,
Aunty Merle. |
