Kandy is a key city located in the central province of Sri Lanka. It was the Sinhalese monarchy’s last capital in the kingdom of Kandy. One of the most important places in Kandy is ‘Kandy Dalada Maligawa‘; it is the temple of sacred tooth relics. Come, let’s look at more interesting things about ‘Dalada Maligawa’. 

History of Dalada Maligawa

Sri Dalada Maligawa is called the temple of the sacred tooth relic. It is a Buddhist temple in Kandy. It was discovered in the royal palace complex of the former kingdom of Kandy. It is the famous worship place in Kandy, where the Gautama Buddha’s tooth is left. After this, it became a world-famous worship place called the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. It is an enthusiastic place for thousands of local and foreign tourists. In 1988, UNESCO named it a world legacy. The ‘Talada Mandira’ architecture is made in a unique Kandyan style. Previously, it stored holy carriers for important religious objects in other kingdoms.

This temple is decorated with complicated statues using gold, silver, bronze, and ivory. The sacred relic was brought by Princess Hemamala and Prince Dantha from the city of Kalinga during the reign of King Keerthi Sri Meghavarna in ancient times, and it became a symbol of Sri Lankan kings.

Ananda Thero was the chief personal attendant who had pure, endless, and huge respect for Lord Buddha and devoted his life to service for him. Now the poojas are carried out by Mahanayake theras of malwathu and asgiri faculties, and still, the rituals are followed by maha sanga. 

The best time to visit Dalada Maligawa is before 9.30. Two times a day there will be a ceremony with drums and pipes, and at that time the tooth is brought out. The temple’s rooms are open for one hour to view this ceremony. It can be crowded, so this is the best time to worship.

All men should wear trousers, and women must wear long white skirts that cover their legs. They are not allowed to wear shorts, sleeveless, or body-revealing clothing.

So what are you waiting for? Don’t miss the opportunity the opportunity to experience the heartbeat of Sri Lanka. Plan your Kandy Holidays visit; you have more interesting festivals to capture. The Kandy Esala Perehera is a beautiful and amazing festival that is held in July and August in Sri Lanka. There are no words to describe it, so you have to feel the wonder of the Kandy Dalada Maligawa.

Hi, there! I’m Helen, a writer for Vibes Group UK and an inbound content creator for the site journal. Every day is unique because I share my excitement for discovering new places with people who share my love of travel. My mind-blowing journey of learning lands anew has taken me along the untrodden ways, having grown up in a multi-cultural background and a country with endless serenity to explore. On the other hand, travel has shown me what is possible and how much work remains in combating vested interests, inequality, and environmental destruction. It’s hard to contain the buzz in the blood that comes from travelling or rising to a challenge, and you can’t always control yourself. Travel blogging is the perfect outlet to express my astonishment and bewilderment to the world. So, follow your heart, see what you can’t see, and leave a trail of Good vibes only!
