Description
Paddy Dancers perform along the streets of Kandy in Sri Lanka during the Esala Perahera. The paddy dance depicts the harvesting of paddy with sickles which inturn leads to prosperity. The dance is also seen as a blessing to the Sacred Tooth Relic. The Esala Perahera is held to honour the Sacred Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha (which is enshrined within the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic) and is considered one of the most colourful processions in the world.
