The Sri Dalada Maligawa, also known as the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, is a Buddhist temple located in Kandy, Sri Lanka. It houses the relic of the tooth of the Buddha and has been a significant site in local politics for centuries. The temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is known for its daily rituals and ceremonies performed by Buddhist monks. Despite facing attacks in the past, the temple has been fully restored and continues to be a revered place of worship for Buddhists and a popular tourist attraction in Sri Lanka.
