• Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic - The Temple of the Tooth in Kandy is the final resting place of the Sacred Tooth (Left Canine) of the Buddha. This relic was brought to Sri Lanka during the reign of King Kirtisri Megahavanna (301-328) by Prince Danta and Princess Hemamala from the kingdom of Kalinga, India. It became a symbol of sovereignty for the Sri Lankan kings and was carefully preserved in a special shrine within the royal palace, regardless of the capital’s location. Remnants of these structures can be found in the ancient capitals of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Dambadeniya, Yapahuwa, Kurunegala, Kotte, and Gampola. In Kandy, the last capital, the Sacred Tooth Relic Temple remains the most revered shrine in the Buddhist world.
