Ancient temple of tooth in Anuradhapura. This is one of the earliest shrines for the sacred tooth relic. The tooth relic became the symbol of royals in the ancient Sri Lanka so the location of the tooth relic shifted with the shift of kingdoms after the anuradhapura kingdom. However the shrines remained abandoned.
Very sacred place ..peaceful.. and very beautiful and clean
The Temple of the Tooth is a majestic site whose beauty matches its lengthy history. It is no wonder why this place is a World Heritage Site. It is also a very religious place so be sure to respect everyone when you go down there.
Just make sure you don't miss out on this hidden gem!!
Very good
A past Temple of Tooth Relic in the Anuradhapura sacred city. Not many people visit but a place you must visit to see its glory still.
Historically important place
Buddhist Historycal please
One surprising thing about Sri Lanka is how heavily Buddhist it is (70% of the population, as opposed to about 11% Hindu and 8% Muslim), with a Buddhist shrine or temple seemingly every few kilometers. The Temple of the Tooth is the country's most prominent temple, and contains one of Buddha's teeth. The tooth is locked up inside 7 golden caskets and displayed to the public once every 5 years. But how do you know it's real? Well, you don't, but you can have faith that there's a sweet tooth in Kandy.
