The Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy is one of Asia’s most important places of pilgrimage, housing the revered Tooth Relic of the Buddha within a lakeside complex of gilded roofs and ornate wooden carvings. The daily Tevava rituals, accompanied by traditional drumming and flute music, offer an atmosphere of spiritual beauty. The temple can be visited year-round, with the Esala Perahera festival in July or August.
