KANDY : The first Kumbal Perahera of the Kandy Esala Perahera will take to the streets Friday Aug 13
Departing from the Sacred Sri Dalada Maligawa at 7.18 pm, the Perahera will proceed along Dalada Weediya, D.S. Senanayake Weediya, Pansala Road, Deva Weediya, Colomba Weediya to D.S. Senanayake Weediya and Raja Weediya.
Diyawadana Nilame Pradeep Nilanga Dela says that due to the pandemic, the public will not be allowed to witness the Kandy Esala Perahera this time and steps have been taken to keep all the artistes participating in the Perahera in a bio-bubble.
He added that the Perahera will be shown live on television, the internet and social media, both nationally and internationally.
He emphasised that from the first Kumbal Perahera to the Day Perahera all events will be telecast live in this manner. The first Randoli Perahera will parade the streets on August 18. The Perahera will end on August 22.
