Revered and stirring devotion among millions across the island and the rest of the globe, the Temple of the Sacred Tooth and Royal Complex (Sri Dalada Maligawa) is a must-see religious and cultural site on any visit to the island’s hill capital of Kandy. The golden-roofed temple houses one of the most important Buddhist relics across all the world, the Buddha’s tooth relic which arrived on the island in the 4th Century. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, most locals firmly believe a visit to the temple is a must at least once in their lives to see and venerate the tooth relic.
