Sri Lanka Police Launches Traffic Management Website for the Ruhunu Maha Kataragama Devalaya Esala Perahera

The Information Technology Division of the Sri Lanka Police has launched a dedicated website to facilitate traffic management during the Ruhunu Maha Kataragama Devalaya Esala Perahera, enabling devotees travelling to Kataragama between 15 July and 30 July 2026 to conveniently locate available vehicle parking facilities.

Throughout the Perahera period, the website will be updated in real time to display the availability of parking spaces. It also integrates with Google Maps to guide motorists via the most convenient and least congested routes to the nearest parking areas with available capacity.

In addition, the platform provides the locations and contact numbers of key emergency service points, integrated with Google Maps, allowing users to quickly access assistance whenever required.

The initiative is expected to improve traffic flow in the Kataragama area, reduce congestion, and minimise inconvenience to devotees and other road users during the festival.

The website can be accessed at:
