Dondra temple, Sri Lanka
Devinuwara Sri Vishnu Devalaya or temple, Dondra - City of Gods, Sri Lanka 2015, the extreme southern tip of Sri Lanka.
Dondra is the English adaptation of “Devundara” derived from its old name “Devi Nuwara” which translates to “City of Gods”. Devundara is important for many reasons, first for its historical importance, second for its religious importance, and third for its geographical importance. Devalaya or the Temple stands as a monument to prove its religious importance, and the Light House which stands about a quarter kilometer by the sea coast shows its geographical importance.

The inaugural ceremony of the Kandy Esala Perahera and the hurricane which took place at Haldummulla on the inauguration of the great cultural festival of Hela had been held at Aluthnuwara.
A tree that had not been milked with milk and coconut trees had been cut by a silver splitter in the Alanduwara area in collaboration with the Vishnu Devale and the Aluthupura Dedimunda Devale in Kandy.
The task of preparing the caps for planting caps made in Kandy is vested in the Alhambra Vishnu Devalaya. Accordingly, a branch of a tree which does not appear in the eastern direction of the area is separated for a young tree.
Purify the selected tree, drain the tiles and flush the pine tree and smoke the smoke with a good sculpture to cut the tree to the east.
By permission of the Silver Shell, Basnayaka Nilame Mahendra Ratwatte granted the permission to cut down the Panama tree from the Basnayake Nilame of the Vishnu Devale in Kandy. The Pirith Singayana branch was cut down by the Maha Sangha.
The car was then wrapped up with a white cloth and wrapped in a white perfume door to the Sri Vishnu Devale in Kandy.
Mr. Dumsiri Bandara Karunaratne, Trustee of Theawewa, Aluthnuwara joined the audience.

Kandy Esala Perahera 2019 (Final Randoli Perahera)
Sri Lanka's largest and most spectacular festival
අසිරිමත් ඇසළ පෙරහර මංගල්ලය
Kandy Perahera, one of Asia's highly traditional and most spectacular parades, takes place in the Buddhist month of Esala, usually in August. The Kandy festival season lasts a fortnight. There are three stages of the Kandy festival, each for a period of 5 days. The largest pageants with the highest numbers of tuskers take place in the last five nights, culminating in the very last night of the festival period.
In general, the final night of the Kandy Perahera festival season is on Nikini Poya Day, which marks the end of the month called Esala. Nikini Poya is the Buddhist astrological full moon night in August. Usually, this coincides with the astronomical full moon night. However, in some years Nikini Poya can be one night earlier or later than the astronomical full moon time suggests. Thus be aware: There is no guarantee that Nikini Poya falls on the date mentioned as August full moon in your calendar! Furthermore, the date of the astronomical fullmoon day in Sri Lanka can also differ one day from that in East Asia or Europe or America, just due to different time zones. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the entire festival is dated according to the Nikini date. However, Nikini Poya was the final day of the Kandy festival in recent years. It is highly likely, that this will be the case in 2019, too. In summary, this means: You can be 99% sure, that the festival takes place in the evenings before and on the evening of the astrological fullmoon in August. The astrological Nikini fullmoon night is 14th August 2019.

Sequence of Kandy Processions
After a small opening ceremony called Kap Situveema, the cutting and planting of the Kapa, at Vishnu Devale near the Tooth Temple, the first nighttime celebrations are so-called Devale Peraheras, ceremnies only within Hindu temple premises.
Kumbal Peraheras
According to backpacker's bible, Lonely Planet, the Kandy Perahera is a 10-days event. Actually, it's a full fortnight festival season. Nevertheless, there is good reason to describe it as a 10-days event: Only 10 successive evening processions are held in Kandy city that really deserve the name Perahera. The first five of these ten pageants are called Kumbal Peraheras. Their focus of attention is not yet the Buddhist Tooth Relic, as the four Hindu Devales of Kandy still play the prominent role.
Randoli Peraheras (Randoli Procession)
This could be seen only with the procession of the Sacred Tooth Relic and parade the streets for whole five days which is a tradition. In the days of the Kings, the Chief Queens of the Kings paraded in this procession in Palanquins. As the participation of the Queens was not proper to the procession of the Sacred Tooth Relic they were stopped but a palanquin is taken in the procession as an honor to the Queen. The four Devalas carry their own decorated palanquins with religious articles of the Devales. Although palanquins are carried the honor they receive is no less.The last 5 days of the Kandy Perahera are the pageants of the famous Sacred Perahara Karaduwa. Only these final five evening processions known as Randoli Perahera can be called the “Great Kandy Perahera” in a narrow sense. The name “Randoli” refers to palanquins on which the consorts of Kandy kings traditionally used to travel.
The beginning and end of each perahera is signalled by a cannon shot. After approximatele half or two thirds of the parade with dozens of adorned elephants, the relic casket of the replica of the Tooth Relic can be seen on the biggest and best illuminated tusker, flanked by two smaller elephants. This is not at all the end of the parade. The Buddhist Tooth Relic will be followed by processions of Kandy’s four Hindu Devales. The first one is of Natha, a regional god of the highland area in and around Kandy, who is also venerated as a Bodhisattva, a future Buddha. The second is Vishnu, his manifestation on Sri Lanka is called Upulvan, symbolized by blue colour. The third is Kataragama, the local form of Skanda or of the Tamil Murugan, his colour is read, and this god`s parade is the noisiest and wildest. The last part of the Perahera is the parade of Pattini, the female goddess of fertility.
