The nomenclature of the Bellanvila pageant
deviates slightly from other well-known pageants and parades. At
Bellanvila, there are two performance items named Mal Perahera and
Pavada Perahera.The rites and rituals associated with Bellanvila
Esala Perahera end with the water-cutting ceremony, conducted at the
Boralasgamuwa ferry.
