It is elliptical in plan and has a flat top that slopes gradually along the long axis of the ellipse. |

Kandy: Kandy was made a world heritage site in 1988. It lies on a plain surrounded by towering hills, with evocative names such as Bible Rock, Camel Hill and Balloon Rock. It is never busier than during the annual Perahera, a fortnight's festival in late July and August, when the town is enlivened by parading elephants, acrobats, drummers and dancers. This is one of the finest festivals in Asia and hotel space is limited months in advance. |
