Kandy, the Hill Capital of Sri Lanka nestling among the misty hills in the central region of this tropical paradise island is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in Asia. As the shrine holding the tooth relic of the Lord Buddha is placed in the heart of the city, it's also the most venerated city in Sri Lanka. It was here once the Sinhala Kings ruled majestically until the year 1815. The beautiful Kandy Lake in the centre of the city was built by Sri Wickrama Rajasingha, the last King of Kandy.
The golden-roofed Temple of the Sacred Tooth houses Sri Lanka’s most important Buddhist relic – a tooth of the Buddha. During puja (offerings or prayers), the heavily guarded room housing the tooth is open to devotees and tourists. However, you don’t actually see the tooth. It’s kept in a gold casket shaped like a dagoba (stupa), which contains a series of six dagoba caskets of diminishing size. As well as the revered main temple, the complex includes a series of smaller temples, shrines and museums.
