Wella Devalaya Esala festival in Unawatuna would be held in July 2008 starting from Thursday 17th Esala Full Moon day.
It will go on for one week.
A mini Perehara would be held on the first day by the children of the Dham pasala [Sunday school]., a more grandoise Perehara organized by Perakum Sport Club on behalf of the Festival Committee would be organized featuring Elephants, Dancers etc on 18th July.
During this week Unawatuna takes on a very festive mood with both sides of the village Road lined with shops selling almost everthing imaginable from Brassware to flowers, cloths, food, sweet.
And the Wella Devala Road becomes so clogged that its no longer possible to motor down this road, however one can take the Bounevista route to get to Yaddehimulla area.
Th whole area is lt up with multi coloured jetlights.
Life savers, students from Richmond and Mahinda College as well as the Sri Lanka Navy are in attendance.
The festival ends with the offering of KIRI DANA to deities and devotees on the last day.
