A few weeks before the Colombo Perahera, the Seema Malaka Temple, which is now part of Gangaramaya Temple, but built by Geoffrey Bawa, Sri Lanka’s famous architect, is wrapped in lights.

The Perahera is essentially a parade of Sri Lankan customs, culture and traditions and it lasts a long time.

Kandayan Dancers feature prominently in the Perahera.

Top Spinners: These guys spin tops on very tall sticks. Impressive.

Cane Dancers: they spin around in two different circles with long canes.
