Over 25,000 turned up to witness the Riders in action. Nick, Daniel, Gilles and Broeky, rocked Colombo out of their seats. The fans waited for hours after just to catch a glimpse of their heroes.&nbsp;</span></span><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIHSfUD1lSAU0xnLeB5VRkLhyeoZhZdnauoqofslDvFTX6wfzFYHWWHelNzCe-IOup6x38GIWawO1CsK9lnyP3LHsTK_BNrImBWbHF60awT7vweYBG3NgvltZqfh9Kr_9hRjKAyVqdxE4B/s640/DSC_0096y.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #424242; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><b><br /> </b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 11px; text-transform: uppercase;"><b><br /> </b></span></span></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhynwJ8sPavGIKl8pzEvAFuiWa0bEYIdVX15Y5li3Ah6GM-_R5V-sPoIqgA3sHEOwLm_WbmVECmyOpqpA3c8oBaSeDJ-hrbS2wPiLhkaUMjun_WFbmKTI3Kpl9gwkDZPSqeNiDh-S-ogq0F/s1600/E9b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhynwJ8sPavGIKl8pzEvAFuiWa0bEYIdVX15Y5li3Ah6GM-_R5V-sPoIqgA3sHEOwLm_WbmVECmyOpqpA3c8oBaSeDJ-hrbS2wPiLhkaUMjun_WFbmKTI3Kpl9gwkDZPSqeNiDh-S-ogq0F/s640/E9b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihiLXsstDRbZhzwdTsijhoFQYdpOXxyHbWk01C9fROlaQmj6ckrEtL1R_yuJiFC4EPvEfYapuNz_1Ga3bAJUgyJr7ZHrMf9WTDEhqxWk7vO-ArVWVpZg6TZVFIzXUNZrq82HsJMWlACNBV/s1600/DSC_0173b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihiLXsstDRbZhzwdTsijhoFQYdpOXxyHbWk01C9fROlaQmj6ckrEtL1R_yuJiFC4EPvEfYapuNz_1Ga3bAJUgyJr7ZHrMf9WTDEhqxWk7vO-ArVWVpZg6TZVFIzXUNZrq82HsJMWlACNBV/s640/DSC_0173b.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp94bh8jzQyAVDf1-RmQAGU6YVXUczes5IiCHtPL2xqojIVfO_D1fn87cJWW0fsblfjwvY6UobARIGXxAWXgMgCBGnNKEXFC1q7nnSbTm0QEGH6S1dIddE2WkB6zta8TejcRMP5PvaJjmr/s1600/DSC_0171b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp94bh8jzQyAVDf1-RmQAGU6YVXUczes5IiCHtPL2xqojIVfO_D1fn87cJWW0fsblfjwvY6UobARIGXxAWXgMgCBGnNKEXFC1q7nnSbTm0QEGH6S1dIddE2WkB6zta8TejcRMP5PvaJjmr/s640/DSC_0171b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <br /> <br /> <dt class="date" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; float: left; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 80px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><b><br /> </b></span></dt><br /> <br /> <br /> Lahiru Wijesinghehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09434221177668735538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-326098496863960275.post-34107811283050506412011-08-21T21:41:00.000+05:302011-08-21T21:55:36.662+05:30Kandy Perahara-2011<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"></span><br /> <div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px;"><span class="here-with" style="background-color: black; color: white;">Kandy’s biggest attraction is the "Esala Perahara". It is a 10-day pageant which leads up to until the full moon of the month of July. There are two kinds of pageants. The first is called the "Kumbal Perahera" which parades for the first 5 nights. Then the "Randoli Perahera", which parades the last 5 nights. The last night’s Perahera is the grandest of all. Randoli means the ‘Queen’s Palanquin’. Up to 1775 A.D palanquins were carried alongside the elephants in the Perahera. The elephants are dressed in colorful silk costumes.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 5px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px;"><br /> </span></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 15px;">The number of elephants increases daily making the Perahera more spectacular each night. The Maligawa Perahera is followed by those of the 4 devales (Hindu temples). It is illuminated by torchbearers because it is held in the night.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPMPtzHLSFQOi3oFZoFqoacVnXin5qWPpDBAR1HzBXmoKZS_SSOA5gQDCPT_0PXP9U-3_7fthNYlvzBV3Dt5WCSwXnNNDDy9KlyUlhrbUPzx1-CCSPDp4An6DYvodrpg14vqM4vgb1AUN-/s1600/0913a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPMPtzHLSFQOi3oFZoFqoacVnXin5qWPpDBAR1HzBXmoKZS_SSOA5gQDCPT_0PXP9U-3_7fthNYlvzBV3Dt5WCSwXnNNDDy9KlyUlhrbUPzx1-CCSPDp4An6DYvodrpg14vqM4vgb1AUN-/s640/0913a.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfLlqs9d6DPQjvKKzdt4rwBKGDjmGROdCqRTCl4NF8tLU653qYV9kR2auZExKNKOXegnm6TuH2BTotxrqRwpo_ATMRbUwgyqsx0hXlNQplQjhD47_zm3bb6jlE2tt_KAPbDsP0eX3Gt7M5/s1600/0912b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfLlqs9d6DPQjvKKzdt4rwBKGDjmGROdCqRTCl4NF8tLU653qYV9kR2auZExKNKOXegnm6TuH2BTotxrqRwpo_ATMRbUwgyqsx0hXlNQplQjhD47_zm3bb6jlE2tt_KAPbDsP0eX3Gt7M5/s640/0912b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7a59f99Q2q_mayTKcaYnCsG4crvoEKs26khG36cSEFXHtxteRf09v92yiznP_ikWB42d0iqcrgOoVK3uVi0ePIbNU6rwY_r29naeabJlpwqDuZeERr9Oy9h4zlpu7SJNotNu6Twzvx_en/s1600/0931b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7a59f99Q2q_mayTKcaYnCsG4crvoEKs26khG36cSEFXHtxteRf09v92yiznP_ikWB42d0iqcrgOoVK3uVi0ePIbNU6rwY_r29naeabJlpwqDuZeERr9Oy9h4zlpu7SJNotNu6Twzvx_en/s640/0931b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjggGkQnHejZ-weZDCrkIcdLNugqRjtQ6dofGWrv8HxGHm0g2S-A0ZvSdwPPW6Rkx-nIQfJ_fw2JC0VKIM-fVIJNGeIN8cNJBGQCvgUOloZ_Dw6FBGQ02nEfzXOSNZYua7VVYW22NzizYHZ/s1600/1021b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjggGkQnHejZ-weZDCrkIcdLNugqRjtQ6dofGWrv8HxGHm0g2S-A0ZvSdwPPW6Rkx-nIQfJ_fw2JC0VKIM-fVIJNGeIN8cNJBGQCvgUOloZ_Dw6FBGQ02nEfzXOSNZYua7VVYW22NzizYHZ/s640/1021b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> Lahiru Wijesinghehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09434221177668735538noreply@blogger.com0
