Highlights
- Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic - The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, also known as Sri Dalada Maligawa, is a Buddhist temple situated in Kandy, Sri Lanka. It resides within the royal palace complex of the former Kingdom of Kandy. This temple houses the sacred tooth relic of Buddha, which has historically played a significant role in local politics. It is believed that possession of the relic grants the authority to rule the country. In the past, Sinhalese kings safeguarded this relic. Due to its cultural and historical importance, the temple has been designated a World Heritage Site. The temple’s inner chambers host daily worship by the Bhikkhus of the Asgiri and Malwathu chapters. Rituals are performed three times a day: morning, noon, and evening. On Wednesdays, a symbolic bathing of the relic takes place using a herbal preparation of scented water and fragrant plants known as Nanumura Mangallaya. This holy water is believed to have healing properties and is distributed to all attendees.
