The Kandy usage is a Buddhist tooth-temple application of a Hindu tradition.

In Sri Lanka: a religious procession. Now chiefly (in form Perahera): spec. a ten-day series of torchlight processions occurring annually in the town of Kandy. Also: a secular procession or parade of celebration.The processions in Kandy occur in the Hindu month Ashadha, and fall in July or August, depending on the full moon; drummers, dancers, acrobats, and richly decorated elephants process with a relic of a sacred tooth, believed to come from the Buddha.
