This important festival, one of the most colorful celebrations in all of Asia, brings together religious people, locals and tourists.

This festival, also called Festival of the Tooth, takes place during ten days in Kandy. It is one of the most colorful festivals in all of Asia, bringing together religious people, locals and tourists. It pays tribute to the relic of the sacred tooth of Buddha. It is from the 6th night that the festival begins to beat its full swing: dancers, musicians, jugglers, fire-eaters, and elephants dressed and made up parade for the greatest happiness of the spectators. The oldest elephant carries a replica of the relic

A ne pas manquer si l'on passe par le Sri Lanka à cette période de l'année!
C'est l'une des parades les plus somptueuses d'Asie, et effectivement, elle est impressionnante! Elephants parés de lumières, danseurs, musiciens ...
Suite à la publication qui a circulé sur les réseaux sociaux, il n'y avait pas d'éléphant rachitique lors de la parade ... En revanche, on peut voir que les pachydermes sont quand même effrayés par le bruit et le feu des torches, bien que maintenant la police prévienne qu'il faut utiliser le moins possible de flashs.
Beaucoup de monde aussi, évidemment ... Nous étions serrés comme des sardines!
La parade de fermeture, le Water Cutting, vaut aussi la peine d'y assister. On peut notamment y voir des hommes qui s'enfoncent des crochets dans la peau!

une fete exceptionnelle tant pour les centaines d'éléphants parés de tissus et de lumière que pour l'ambiance familiale et joyeuse.
