Colombo, July 30 (Daily Mirror) - Large crowds have already gathered in Kandy to witness the first Kumbal Perahera of the Kandy Esala Festival, set to parade through the city tonight.
Spectators have lined the streets along the perahera route in anticipation of the grand cultural pageant.

The procession will travel along D.S. Senanayake Street, Temple Road, Deva Veediya, Colombo Street, and return to the Sri Dalada Maligawa via Yatinuwara Veediya.
