Kandy Sri Dalada Maligawa
Located in Kandy, this temple is famous for its shrine containing Buddha’s tooth (according to legend, the tooth was removed from Buddha’s body following his death and is said to bestow divine power on those who possess it). The temple, which features traditional Kandyan architecture and ancient stone carvings, is part of a complex of buildings that also includes the royal palace and archeological museum. Tours of the site are offered daily, and visitors can attend Tevava rituals (performed in the morning, noon and evening) as part of traditional Buddhist worship. Indagare members can contact the Bookings Team for assistance in booking a tour.
