Gert W. Knop Poet Haiku

Kandy Perahera

Kandy Perahera
Geschmückte Elefanten im Lichterglanz
Zu Ehren Buddhas

-------------------------------------------------------


Kandy Perahera 
Decorated elephants in bright light
In honor of  Buddha


-------------------------------------------------------


Kandy Perahera 
Decorado elefantes en  brilla luz
En honor a Buda

________________________________________

Note: The Kandy Perahera in Sri Lanka takes 
place in August and is a "must" for tourists to the
island. Decorated Elephants and dancers honour
the "tooth of Buddha" which is usually guarded 
in the "Temple of the Tooth"
