The crowd in the capital city Colombo presents a marvelous mix of ancient culture and modern beliefs. Places to see in Colombo are the old Victorian Lighthouse Clock Tower, Gordon Gardens, Jami-ul-Alfar, Hindu temples like the New and Old Kathiresan Kovils, St. Anthony Catholic Church and the bustling Pettah's bazaar.
It is an annual festival that is held in the Sri Lankan hill town of Kandy every year in peak summer months of July and August. It is one of the most spectacular pageants of Asia. The festival is a synthesis of Hindu and Buddhist beliefs and is a dedication to Skanda and Buddha. Although it is popular among all types of visitors but Hindu and Buddhist believers specially take flights to Colombo to join this event. One of the most interesting things making this event worth attending is the performance of men that fulfill vows to Hindu god Skanda by walking in harness with spikes in their backs, and accompanied by a fabulous procession. This show has been running since 18th century making it one of the longest running shows in the world. It greatly attracts cheap Colombo flights every year from Sri Lanka and other parts of the world.
