evidence: Temple of the Tooth which is popular in Sri Lanka as Dalada Maligawa is one of the most sacred religious places among Buddhists and non Buddhists as well. It is located in Kandy district of Central Province and once it was the greatest kingdom in Ancient Sri Lanka. We believe that Lord Buddha’s left upper canine tooth is placed here. According to the historical legends this was brought to our country by two Indians called Princess Hemamala & Prince Dantha and the tooth was hidden in Princess Hemamala’s hair. It was received in the reign of the king Keerthi Sri Meghavanna & rituals of Dalada Perahera was originated immediately as it became a precious sacred object. Buddhists pay the greatest respect to the sacred tooth considering as the living Lord Buddha. The tooth was brought on the backs of elephants in special occasions. Lots of enemies tried to attack the tooth relic as the Sri Lankans believes that the ruler or the king of the country should own the tooth relic. In all those attacks, nobody could destroy it as a result of that our Buddhist kings and monks were able to protect the tooth relic with great effort.
