Chamara Dancers perform ahead of a ceremonial elephant along the streets of Kandy during the Day Perahera in Sri Lanka. Chamara Dancers perform a dance whereby the yak tails they hold symbolically fan the Sacred Tooth Relic. The Esala Perahera is held to honour the sacred tooth relic of Lord Buddha enshrined within the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic.
