THE TEMPLE OF THE TOOTH RELIC
Also known as Dalada Maligawa, this sacred temple in Kandy houses Sri Lanka’s most revered Buddhist relic—the tooth of the Buddha. It draws pilgrims and visitors from across the world, especially during the annual Esala Perahera, a grand cultural procession. The temple complex is beautifully maintained, with shrines, golden roofs, and murals that tell stories of devotion. Drummers and traditional rituals mark the rhythm of daily offerings. The temple sits beside a peaceful lake, adding to its timeless atmosphere. Visiting here offers a glimpse into Sri Lanka’s deep spiritual roots and ceremonial traditions.
