The Temple of Tooth Relic (The Dalada Maligawa)

Inside the Sri Dalada Maligawa

I visited Dalada Maligawa September 2010. During that visit I captured these photographs.

Dalada Maligawa the Temple of Tooth Relic is the most religious place of Sri Lankan Buddhists. They are worshiping there for the Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha. This is called the "Dalada" and in Sri Lanka the Dalada hold the greatest place. In the past Sri Lankans assume the King that who owns the Dalada.

In the past history the Dalada was placed several number of places (kingdoms) in Sri Lanka but now is in Kandy. The temple that holds the Dalada is called Dalada Maligawa (Temple of Tooth Relic). The present Dalada Maligawa is the palace of the last Sri Lankan King Sri Wikrama Rajasinghe who was in the Kindom of Kandy.  Dalada Maligawa is located near the Nuwara Wawa. It’s very beautiful scenery.
