The Temple of Buddha Tooth in Kandy, Sri Lanka, was listed on the World Heritage List in 1998. The Temple is located on the beautiful Lake Kandy in the center of the holy city of Kandy. The temple holds the treasure of Sri Lanka's town and country, one of the only two spiritual teeth left by Buddha Sakyamuni. Walking in the Buddhist temple, white dress white men and women sitting on the table, reciting scriptures; The orange-clad monks walked by, the dark skin against the white walls...the lingering cigarettes, the solemn bells and drums, the pure eyes, the solemn atmosphere, let your heart slowly become calm and peaceful. The inner temple is divided into two floors, the lower floor of the Buddha Hall, the golden glory. The upper temple is supported by many Hindu pillars, and the temple is hung with Buddhist flags, consisting of blue, yellow, red, white, orange and the first five colors of mixed colors, which are six colors released by the Holy Body when the Buddha was made into Tao. Follow the stairs to the second floor to the dark room where the Buddha's teeth are placed. The table in front of the door is filled with various lotus flowers provided by the believers. The lotus is the national flower of Sri Lanka, and locals usually come to the temple with lotus flowers. The Buddha's teeth are stored in the seven-story golden pagoda. This year, the Buddha Dental Festival celebrations began on August 17 and lasted until August 31. Elephants carrying the Buddha Dental "Sheli Tower", from Kandy Buddha Dental Temple, cruised the city to let the people enjoy the glory of Buddha Dental. On the Buddha's teeth festival, from nose to foot are decorated with exquisite edging fabric, the most gorgeous and domineering leader elephant back is loaded with huge Huali, Huali is the much-anticipated collection of Buddha teeth Sheli dumplings. Buddha was cremated in the Mallas area in 543 BC, and the local officials in northern India shared the Buddha's Sheri. The son-in-law and daughter of King GUHASIVA in the 4th century AD secretly brought to Sri Lanka to give to the King of Ceylon in a hair knot. It was worshipped by the temple, originally built by King Vimalada, and now built during the reign of King Kritisriya Siha. Another Buddha tooth is the Buddha Tooth Tower of Lingguang Temple in the eight major places in Beijing.

The Ganggalama Temple in Colombo is displayed in various bodhisattvas, some smiling, some kind and kind, giving you warmth and calm. People come in and out, there are weddings, and Buddhism is a Sri Lankan lifestyle.

This serene temple sits on three floating platforms which are connected to each other and to the mainland by floating bridges. There are numerous seated Buddha statues displaying different mudras (hand gestures) on all three platforms. The central platform houses wooden paneled temple for meditation. The view of the surrounding Colombo skyline from the central platform is beautiful. A small entrance fee to the temple applies to foreigners.

This is one of the many temples we have visited, a special holy place, one that Buddha visited when he came to Sri Lanka, with a huge reclining Buddha, which is probably one of the most worth visiting among the many temples in the country. This Kalania Temple is one of the places where Buddha came to Sri Lanka. It is also a very relaxing place. Many foreigners used to come here often. It is a good place to visit in the Colombo area. There is a lot to visit here, there is a museum. This temple is very close to the Kranya River and also passes through it.

Although we didn’t get inside, from the outside it was an amazing Indian temple in central Colombo, and the carving was fantastic. It seemed like an ordinary residential area, but then we saw the temple. Awesome!! A corner of an incredible building. Be sure to take time to visit. We came here by tutu car from Cinnamom Lakeside Hotel, which is only 5 minutes away from the hotel and is well worth a visit.

An elegant building, built entirely in marble, located opposite the Holy Land of St. Anthony in Kotahena. Area. This is a late 18th century building seen in the name of the Shivan god. Luxurious ornate gatehouse, very beautifully done, with fine design and sculpture. You need slippers when you enter the temple ground. If you are visiting here, be careful with your skirt. On some special festivals, it is very busy.
