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.
