No visit to Kandy would be complete without paying homage to the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic, known locally as Sri Dalada Maligawa. 

This revered temple houses the relic of the tooth of the Buddha, making it one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Buddhists around the world. 

Steeped in history and surrounded by serene gardens, this Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka offers a glimpse into the country’s spiritual heritage and provides a sense of tranquility amidst the bustling city.

Legend has it that the sacred tooth relic was brought to Sri Lanka in the 4th century AD, concealed within the hair of Princess Hemamala, who fled from India to protect it from falling into the hands of her enemies. 

Since then, the relic has been enshrined in various temples across the island, with the Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy being its final resting place putting a visit to this temple on top of the list of things to do in Kandy.
