Kandy Temple

The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic is the most revered site in Sri Lanka. Since Kandy was the capital of ancient Sri lanka from 1592 to 1815, reigned by many great Kings. Kandy has been named as a World Heritage Site mainly due to the significance of this temple that is located within the city’s borders. A visit to the Temple of the Sacred Relic Temple is a must when you are in Kandy.  While the tooth stays hidden within a gold casket, visitors and devotees always visit the temple during puja just to have a look at the well protected inner shrine where it is kept.
