The Temple of the Tooth, or Sri Dalada Maligawa, is a sacred Buddhist temple in Kandy, Sri Lanka. It houses a revered relic—one of Buddha's teeth—which has been a symbol of political power and spiritual significance in Sri Lanka for centuries. The temple's origins date back to the 16th century, and it has undergone restorations over time. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the temple attracts both pilgrims and tourists with its traditional Kandyan architecture, intricate carvings, and the annual Esala Perahera, a vibrant procession featuring drummers, dancers, and elaborately adorned elephants.
