This year’s perahera had dance items by eight Indian, Burmese and Chinese dancing teams apart from local dance segments representing Buddhist, Hindu and Islamic cultures.

There was also a variety of traditional dances stepping in tune alongside majestic elephants including the temple’s tusker, Ganga.   Pix by M A Pushpa Kumara
