Temple of the Sacred Tooth
We went to the Tooth Temple in Kandy on a special day. Not sure what day it was but it was great seeing all the people and be part of it. All very orderly, not pushy or too smelly, was a wonderful experience. When we flew home we saw the Buddhist Shop at the airport duty-free in Colombo and bought a few flags to take home.
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.
