ABUBUWAN DA ZA KU GUDU DAGA WANNAN LABARI:
- They are tethered at the Vihara Mahadevi Park (the equivalent to Central Park in New York City) and it is indeed quite a spectacular and unique sight to see so many elephants who have come from far and a wide for the pageant.
- During the full moon (which is a holy day for Buddhists) each February, the big temple in the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka (the Gangaramaya Temple) hosts a big pageant (perehera), where gaily-decorated, tame elephants parade the streets.
- So from a few days before the day of the pageant, Colombo is “invaded” by tame elephants.
