The Esala Perahera was originally a ritual performed to ask the gods for rainfall for the cultivation of crops dating back to the 3rd century BC. The Dalada Perahera, on the other hand, is to honor the sacred tooth of the Lord Buddha which is said to have been brought from India to Sri Lanka during the 4th century CE.
