The Kandy Esala Perahera is over 1,700 years old in origin, tracing its roots back to the 4th century CE when the Sacred Tooth Relic of the Buddha was brought to Sri Lanka from India during the reign of King Kirti Sri Meghavarna (301–328 CE).
However, the annual Perahera in Kandy — as it is known today — began in the late 18th century, after the Tooth Relic was enshrined in the Temple of the Tooth (Sri Dalada Maligawa) by the Kandyan kings. The festival was organized to invoke blessings for rainfall, fertility, and prosperity, combining Buddhist and ancient Kandyan traditions.
