Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic

Monday, March 19, 2018

In the evening, checked out Kandy Lake then visted Kandy’s most famous and revered site. The temple houses Sri Lanka’s most important Buddhist relic – the tooth of Buddha. Wandered through various Halls and Museums including Tusker Hall housing a famous stuffed elephant named Rajah. Crazy crowds at 6:30 when the golden tooth casket was revealed. Hundreds of devotees bringing flowers and tourists with cameras jostling to see the stupa shaped container.
