Colombo (Sri Lanka), 9 feb (EFE/EPA).- (Imagen: Pushpa Kumara) Miles de personas participan hoy en el Navam Perahera, un festival religioso que toma toda la ciudad con procesiones, bailes y tambores, una de las celebraciones más conocidas y tradicionales del país.

Desde 1979, el templo Gangaramaya organiza un desfile multitudinario en el que diversos artistas muestran sus habilidades, al paso de elefantes ricamente decorados con tapices de colores, que acompañan a comparsas de baile, tambores y música que brillan en sus trajes tradicionales.

Bailarines enmascarados y vestidos con atuendos regionales típicos muestran también sus habilidades no sólo en la danza sino también en las acrobacias, que preceden al desfile de monjes que portan banderas y antorchas, que cierran la procesión, junto al paso de la reliquia del colmillo de un elefante, que se venera en este templo.
