Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. It involved a princess smuggler on the run. It had the protection of kings, eager to retain power over their kingdom. With an air of mystery surrounding it, it is one of most well-protected sites anywhere in Sri Lanka. The Temple of the Sacred Tooth relic sits north of Kandy lake, within the palace complex of the former Kandyan kingdom. Thanks to its historical, cultural and spiritual significance, the temple is now a UNESCO World Heritage site, one of eight sites across Sri Lanka. What gives the temple its unique name is the belief that it holds the sacred tooth relic of the Buddha. Originally preserved in the ancient city of Kalinga, it was eventually smuggled by two of his disciples – Prince Dantha and Princess Hemamali. Over time, a legend was born. It was said that whoever was in possession of the tooth relic would have the right to rule the land. To make sure that it stayed safe, several replicas were created and placed all over the kingdom. To add intrigue, you never actually see the tooth relic. It is supposedly kept in a small golden casket, which in turn is kept in a larger casket, which in turn is in a larger casket – a total of seven. This in turn is safely kept in the innermost shrine of the temple. Today, while no one really knows where the original tooth relic is housed, the temple has built its  reputation and continues to be the focus of Buddhists who strive to make a pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime. . . .
