Ebudeni benyanga epheleleyo (olusuku olungcwele lwamaBhuda) rhoqo ngoFebruwari, itempile enkulu kwisixeko saseColombo, eSri Lanka (iTempile yaseGangaramaya) iba nomsitho omkhulu ( perehera ), apho iindlovu ezihonjiswe kakuhle, ezimbuna zidlala ezitratweni. . Oku kufana neKandy Perrarhera eyaziwayo kwihlabathi, kodwa incinci ngobungakanani.

Ngoko ukususela kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ngaphambi komhla wokhuphiswano, iColombo "ihlaselwa" ziindlovu ezithambileyo. Zibotshelelwe kwiPaki yaseVihara Mahadevi (elingana neCentral Park kwisiXeko saseNew York) kwaye ngokwenene ngumbono omangalisayo nowodwa ukubona iindlovu ezininzi ezisuka kude nakude kukhuphiswano.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:

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.
