The Sri Dalada Maligawa Buddhist temple in Kandy houses the sacred tooth relic of the Buddha, a national treasure which was brought to the country at around 300BC from Kalinga in India. This makes it the most sacred Buddhist place of worship in Sri Lanka. The construction of the temple itself is awe-inspiring, with elaborately decorated walls and ceilings, excellent woodcraft and golden roof. Religious ceremonies, or pujas, are held thrice daily. The serene atmosphere of the temple is accentuated by Kandy’s cool climate and picturesque mountain scenery.
