Kandy Temple of the Sacred Tooth & Cultural Dance

Visit Kandy’s revered Temple of the Tooth, then a fire-walking Kandyan cultural dance.

About this experience

In the hill capital of Kandy, last stronghold of the Sinhalese kings, lies the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic — Sri Lanka’s holiest Buddhist shrine, set beside a serene lake.

Time your visit for the puja ceremony as drummers herald the relic chamber, then take your seat for an evening of Kandyan dance — a whirl of acrobatics, drumming and a barefoot fire-walking finale.
