Travelogue Sri Lanka 2010
Sri Dalada Maligawa

From the Kandy Samadhi Center we undertook two excursions. The first of these takes us to Kandy to the Sri Dalada Maligawa, the Temple of the Tooth. The left canine tooth of Buddah is supposedly located here. The possession of this relic has high significance, as it probably simultaneously entitles to political leadership of the country, brings enlightenment and protects against drought.

If you go to the Temple of the Tooth, then of course you bring offerings. In our case, these are lotus flowers that you can buy right outside the temple.
