Sri Dalada Perahera ceremony is held on the auspices of the chief incumbent of the Kotte Rajamaha Viharaya cum Upa Nama Lekhadhikari of the Sri Kalyani Samagri Dharma Maha Sangha Sabha, Ven. Aluth Nuwara Anuruddha Thera. Rituals associated with the Sathara Devala are carried out by the Chief Custodian, Rohitha Pathmadeva and other custodians of the Devalas during the time period of the procession.
The parade carrying the Kap to be planted left the temple premises amidst Hevisi sounds, together with Pahatharata Thelme dance items and paraded around the temple and entered the premises once again. The Perahera would be parading the streets on August 29.
