evidence: The "Dantha Dhathu Charitha" or "Dalada Siritha" is a book about customs related to the sacred tooth relic that was written during the reign of Parakramabahu IV (1302-1326) of Kurunagala. It contains the majority of the customs. The Dalada Siritha stated 38 statutes, on which a perahara pageant should be conducted. [...] As the primary holder of this honourable responsibility, "Diyawadana Nilame" has expressed gratitude to those who create exquisite elephant gowns, particularly those made of batik, and has emphasised the significance of keeping them understated yet sophisticated in order to maintain the aesthetic appeal and cultural significance of the Kandy Perahera. We should all be grateful to him and his crew for putting together the best event in Sri Lanka, which runs for ten days straight and leaves no space for error.
