Kandy - visit the atmosheric Palace of the Tooth Relic
The Temple of Daladamaligawa or the Palace of the Tooth Relic, is home to the eye tooth of Buddha Gautama, one of the most important religious relics in Sri Lanka. It is seldom shown to the public, although the golden casket, covered with precious stones, where it is stored is available for public viewing. There is a ritual “washing” of the tooth, every Wednesday. Also in the area, are 11 other buildings of historic importance, including the old royal family’s palace.
