The Temple of the Tooth (Sri Dalada Maligawa) in Kandy is one of Sri Lanka’s most sacred Buddhist sites. It houses the sacred tooth relic of Lord Buddha, believed to have been brought to Sri Lanka in the 4th century AD by Princess Hemamali and her husband Prince Dantha, who smuggled it from India to protect it from invaders. Since then, the relic has been a symbol of sovereignty and spiritual power. It was historically kept in various locations across Sri Lanka but has been enshrined in the current temple in Kandy since the 16th century. The temple complex itself is an architectural masterpiece and has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Temple of the Tooth is not just a religious landmark; it also played a vital role in the country’s political history. Possession of the relic was believed to legitimize the rule of kings, making it a highly coveted treasure through centuries.
