Police introduced a real-time information service for visitors to the Kandy Esala Perahera, scheduled from 18 to 28 August.
The system provided information on procession routes, parking, viewing locations and sanitation facilities. It also identified places where separated visitors could seek assistance and reconnect with family members.
Access was offered through the Sri Lanka Police website and a dedicated Perahera service, available on phones, tablets and computers.
The platform formed part of wider traffic, security and visitor-management arrangements. Its purpose was to help people plan their journeys and reduce avoidable congestion during the festival, with the information relating to the August event.
