The Katina Perahera is an important event for all Buddhists across the world, to celebrate the enlightenment of Lord Buddha.

LBYG this year is planning to make a float depicting Mucalinda protecting Lord Buddha from a heavy downpour. It is said that this occurred on the 6th week after He had obtained enlightenment.
