Thousands of visitors gathered in Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo, to see the spectacular annual spiritual festival. The streets came alive with elephants, vibrant lights, energetic dancers, and a display of tradition - making it a night to remember.
Decorated elephants danced through Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo, on Tuesday to celebrate the annual Navam Perahera festival. The streets were filled with the sounds of drums and colourful lights lit up the sky.
The two-day Buddhist event is a celebration of culture and spirituality. The event showcases traditional dances and musical performances and is usually held during the full moon in February.
Organizers say millions of people go to watch the colorful display and around ten thousand tourists visit especially to experience it.
The carnival also fosters unity between communities as Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, and Christians all gather to display their cultural heritage in the process.
