With elaborate costumes, gyrating dance moves and show-stopping, fire-breathing stunts, a Kandyan dance performance is one of the defining experiences of a stay in Kandy. Calling it a traditional Kandyan dance performance is something of a misnomer as the shows are very much aimed at audience entertainment and contain dance routines and costumes from across the country, including the famous ‘devil’ dances of the west coast (which are very hard to see in their home region). You can also hear Kandyan drummers every day at the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and the other temples surrounding it – their drumming signals the start and finish of the daily puja (offering or prayers)
