Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic
The sacred Temple of Tooth is a world renowned place of worship where the left canine tooth of the Lord Buddha is placed. This is one of Sri Lanka’s top attractions. The 18th-century Buddhist temple, part of what was once Kandy’s royal court, is revered for housing a tooth of the Buddha kept in a gold casket shaped like a Dagobah (stupa), which contains a series of six Dagobah caskets of diminishing size.
