🙏Temple of the Tooth 🙏

 


                   I live in Kandy. So the Temple of the Tooth is a familiar place to me. We visit there at least once a month. It has become our custom to go there and receive blessing before every good deed in the house. 


       The temple of the Tooth is the temple where

        the relics of the Supreme Buddha are kept.

        According to popular belief from ancient

        times, the person in charge of the Tooth 

        Relic should be the king of the country. 

        Due to this the kings of the past protected 

        the Tooth Relic with their lives.





        King Wimaladharmasuriya was the first

       to build the Temple of the Tooth. The city

       of Kandy, where the Temple of the Tooth

       is located, has been declared a World

       Heritage Site by UNESCO. The monks 

       of both Malwathu and Asgiri offer

      daily offering to the Tooth Relic. This

      sacrifice is performed three times a day.       




          The Nanumura festival is held on

          Wednesday as a special offering

           Here the Tooth Relic is symbolically

          bathed in fragrant medicinal water.

          The water obtained from this bath

           is believe to have healing powers.   







            Surrounded by the Udawaththa jungle 

           to the east of Kandy, the Hanthana

           mountain range on one side and 

           Bahirawa Kanda on the other, the

           Kingdom of Kandy has a 

           mild climate.
