Kandy – Temple of the Tooth Relic

Kandy, the cultural capital of Sri Lanka, is home to the Temple of the Tooth Relic, one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in the world. This UNESCO-listed shrine enshrines what is believed to be Buddha’s tooth. The temple is beautifully set next to Kandy Lake, with daily rituals, golden architecture, and the annual Esala Perahera festival showcasing Sri Lankan tradition through dance, drumming, and elephant processions.
