Elephant Parade Marks Ceylon Tooth Festival in Kandy
In Kandy during the Buddha Tooth procession, elephants are gathered on the island for a grand pageant. Priests and worshippers bathe to purify, then the Tooth temple hosts a long ceremonial march with the island’s largest elephant, jeweled and decorated, leading thousands of dancers under torches as the city returns to quiet.
