A beacon of reverence for Buddhist devotees, the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic is a focal part of the 'Sacred City of Kandy', a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Home to a tooth relic of Lord Buddha, this golden-roofed temple is where you can attend a puja ceremony to catch a glimpse of the golden casket that houses this sacred object. Beyond the main shrine, there's much more to discover in the temple complex too such as the Royal Audience Hall, a part of the Royal Palace and the Temple of the Tooth Museum.
