Honey offering at Randoli Perahera

A group of indigenous people made a traditional honey offering during the first Randoli Perahera in Kandy today.

This special ritual is done as a sign of respect and devotion to the sacred Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Hamuduruwan).

For centuries, as the Tooth Relic moved from one ancient kingdom to another, people offered various gifts in its honour.

Since it was placed in Kandy, this tradition has continued with many different offerings. The honey offering by the indigenous community is one of the oldest rituals still performed today. It took place at an auspicious time during the Perahera procession.
