The crowning glory of Buddhism is the Tooth Relic. The Kandy Esala Perahera Festival which has attracted the attention of the entire world is scheduled to commence in a few days.
Thousands of people have gathered on both sides of the road today to pay their respects to the Venerable Elephant King who arrived in Kandy on foot for 10 days to hoist the relics of that magnificent procession. At the time of writing (16.15) Nedungamuwe Raja was passing through the Getamba area, our Kandy staff correspondent states.
This world-renowned king of the world is scheduled to pay homage to the Sacred Tooth Relic this evening.
