The Temple of Buddha Tooth in Kandy, Sri Lanka, was listed on the World Heritage List in 1998. The Temple is located on the beautiful Lake Kandy in the center of the holy city of Kandy. The temple holds the treasure of Sri Lanka's town and country, one of the only two spiritual teeth left by Buddha Sakyamuni. Walking in the Buddhist temple, white dress white men and women sitting on the table, reciting scriptures; The orange-clad monks walked by, the dark skin against the white walls...the lingering cigarettes, the solemn bells and drums, the pure eyes, the solemn atmosphere, let your heart slowly become calm and peaceful. The inner temple is divided into two floors, the lower floor of the Buddha Hall, the golden glory. The upper temple is supported by many Hindu pillars, and the temple is hung with Buddhist flags, consisting of blue, yellow, red, white, orange and the first five colors of mixed colors, which are six colors released by the Holy Body when the Buddha was made into Tao. Follow the stairs to the second floor to the dark room where the Buddha's teeth are placed. The table in front of the door is filled with various lotus flowers provided by the believers. The lotus is the national flower of Sri Lanka, and locals usually come to the temple with lotus flowers. The Buddha's teeth are stored in the seven-story golden pagoda. This year, the Buddha Dental Festival celebrations began on August 17 and lasted until August 31. Elephants carrying the Buddha Dental "Sheli Tower", from Kandy Buddha Dental Temple, cruised the city to let the people enjoy the glory of Buddha Dental. On the Buddha's teeth festival, from nose to foot are decorated with exquisite edging fabric, the most gorgeous and domineering leader elephant back is loaded with huge Huali, Huali is the much-anticipated collection of Buddha teeth Sheli dumplings. Buddha was cremated in the Mallas area in 543 BC, and the local officials in northern India shared the Buddha's Sheri. The son-in-law and daughter of King GUHASIVA in the 4th century AD secretly brought to Sri Lanka to give to the King of Ceylon in a hair knot. It was worshipped by the temple, originally built by King Vimalada, and now built during the reign of King Kritisriya Siha. Another Buddha tooth is the Buddha Tooth Tower of Lingguang Temple in the eight major places in Beijing.

Came here at noon and it was very hot! Considering you had to walk barefoot, we didn't stay long at the top because our feet were too hot. There were lots of interesting descriptions of Buddha's life, but unfortunately there is no English version. Worth a visit.

The monastery is built on the top of the mountain, more than ten kilometers from Kandy city, and needs to be chartered. The main building is very solemn in white appearance, with exquisite carvings on the walls, exquisite murals in the temple, and auxiliary buildings with white towers and Buddha footprints next to it. The ticket is 300rb with a detailed introduction. Down the mountain you can overlook the beautiful pastoral scenery near Kandy.

Located on a hilltop. Available by car. 13 km from Kandy. Mixed culture of Sinhalese (mostly) and Hinduism. Built by King Zhou Lama Bahu. If interested in Buddhism and culture, this is an ideal place. Pants and long sleeve tops should be worn. We have visited so many temples and this one is different from ordinary. We feel it should not be found by most tourists, but locals come often. It is being renovated and there are scaffolding, but in the small details, it is still impressive, the painting inside is really amazing. Not only that, the two or three buildings outside are also very interesting, and again, the painting is amazing. It was a super fun place and we would love to go again if we had the chance. The interaction with the kids outside was also very good and fun.
