WELIGAMA
Weligama is a coastal town situated in the Matara District of the Southern Province of Sri Lanka. Located around 144 kilometers south of Colombo, this area is under the governance of an Urban Council. The name Weligama derives from its literal meaning of "sandy village," which accurately describes the presence of a sandy sweep bay in the area. Weligama offers numerous enjoyable activities and serves as an excellent location to explore some of Sri Lanka's finest coastal areas in the south. If you have a strong affinity with water, it is imperative that you include Weligama in your travel plans. The bay offers a plethora of exceptional watersport activities that one should not overlook. Weligama is renowned globally for its coastline, which boasts sandy beaches that are ideal for engaging in sports such as surfing, snorkeling, and coral watching. Weligama is an excellent location for acquiring surfing skills, with a two-kilometer expanse of shallow sandy beach. The winds in Weligama are predominantly side offshore, allowing for surfing opportunities at any time on most days. This is a significant advantage of the summer season. To maximize wave size, we suggest visiting during the shoulder seasons when wind conditions are more advantageous and the surf tends to be larger. If you desire to avoid the excessive number of people at the beach, the beach of Weligama is an ideal location. You may relax, unwind, and simply savor the sunshine and sandy beach. |

It is a prominent municipality in the southern province, known for its size. It is situated 195 kilometers south of Colombo. The area experiences a temperate temperature, which is relatively milder compared to the surrounding region, and is characterized by the presence of sandy beaches. The coastline is renowned for its exquisite and pristine beauty, making it a preferred choice for individuals in search of a romantic beach retreat or an idyllic honeymoon spot. With numerous pristine beaches in close proximity and a wide range of local activities, your stay here will be highly rewarding. Throughout the season, the waves at this location are reliably steady and typically free from large crowds. This location is an ideal destination for individuals who are new to surfing or have some experience and are looking for a peaceful and secluded environment. The region is seldom frequented by surfers because to its challenging accessibility and limited awareness among the general public. Despite the aesthetically pleasing deep blue color of the ocean, swimming at Tangalle Beach is not advisable due to the potentially hazardous and turbulent tides. The little cove, adorned with a protective coral reef, is unquestionably a destination worth exploring. The reef intercepts the larger waves and functions as a natural Jacuzzi. |

REKAWA
Rekawa is situated in the Hambantota District of the Southern Province, Sri Lanka. It is roughly 200 kilometers to the south of Colombo. Rekawa Lagoon is a very tiny coastal lagoon with a water surface area around 2.4 square kilometers. The lagoon exhibits a diverse range of plant life, showcasing a great biodiversity. The ocean waves often get turbulent, and certain aquatic organisms might pose a threat. Nevertheless, there are a limited number of bathing areas located at the opposite side of the town, where tourists can satisfy their need to swim. The Rekawa golden beaches are renowned for their ability to attract numerous endangered species of sea turtles, such as loggerhead, hawksbill, olive ridley, green, and leatherback turtles. The period of highest turtle hatching activity occurs between February and July, which aligns with the best time to visit the southern beaches. Turtle Bay is dedicated to improving the chances of successful hatching. Fully matured female green sea turtles exhibit a behavior known as natal homing, when they instinctively return to the location of their birth to deposit their eggs during the nighttime hours. Visitors can witness this magnificent phenomenon on a beach at Turtle Bay, guided by the Turtle Conservation Project in Rekawa, which is about a 30-minute drive away. |

Esala
iThe Kandy cultural procession is a sacred and magnificent procession called Esala celebrated in Sri Lanka throughout the month of August.
The document provides several recommendations for organising the elaborate Kandy cultural parade.It is an expression of the reverence, devotion, and faith of the local Buddhist community towards the Lord Buddha's tooth relic, deities, and the act of invoking rain.The procession showcases various elements of rainfall, including thunder, lightning, rain clouds, and raindrops.
The crackers and fire ball acrobats swiftly remove obstacles and represent the auditory effects of thunder and lightning. The first elephant is transporting a royal officer who is holding an ola-leaf book that documents the responsibilities of officers assigned to the sacred shrine. The Gajanayaka Nelame, who is responsible for the royal Elephant, holds a golden goad in his hands. The elephants represent rain clouds, which carry flags from various regions of the kingdom throughout the procession in the presence of the king. This symbolises their continued allegiance to him and demonstrates the loyalty of their subordinates.
The pageant during the king's era featured dancers and drummers who took joy in their performances. Instead of receiving monetary compensation, these musicians were rewarded with land for their services.
In 1815, the British conquered the Kandyan kingdom and entrusted the tooth relic to the Buddhist clergy, specifically two chief monks named Asgriya and Malwattha in Kandy. These monks take turns in caring for the relic on an annual basis and participate in the daily religious ceremonies held in the perfume chamber. Additionally, there is a lay custodian responsible for the tooth relic. The Diyawadana Nilame is the title given to the lay custodian who is responsible for the Relic in Sri Lanka while the king is not there. This individual is highly regarded as the most prominent Buddhist layperson in the country.He walks closely behind the tusker, which bears the Relic, while wearing the traditional regal attire of the King of Kandy.
The lay custodians of the Davales participate in the Devala parade.
The procession commences with a modest ceremony on the new moon day of Esala. The laity priests of the devales gather at the base of the Jack tree, which has been cut and planted within the grounds of each of the four Devales: Natha, Vishnu, Katharagama, and goddess Pattini. The first five nights feature the traditional procession known as kumbal perahera.The procession exclusively revolves around the Devales sans elaborate rituals. On the sixth night, the kumbal perahera commences and lasts for four to five days.The Devala prahera congregates in front of the Temple of the Tooth. The upcoming five nights are referred to as Randoli perahera. "Doli" refers to the palanquins used by the Devales to transport their golden caskets and swords.
The final night of the celebration is the most vibrant and captivating. During this night, the Relic is temporarily placed in the Gedige veharaya of the Asgiriya temple at approximately 3 am. The following morning, the lay priests of Devala go in a procession to the mahaveli gange at Gatabe.
They board a boat and travel to the center of the river, carrying a golden sword and casket for refilling. They strike the water with the sword and return after refilling, reaching Gatabe Veharaya. They then join the day perahera, a procession done to commemorate the rite.
