This continues our trip through central Sri Lanka by starting with the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy, moving on to a tea factory in the heart of tea country, and then ending the day in Nuwara Eliya.

Temple of the Tooth
The Temple of the Tooth (Sri Dalada Maligawa) in Kandy, Sri Lanka, is a world-renowned Buddhist pilgrimage site housing a sacred tooth relic of the Buddha, symbolizing sovereignty for Sri Lankan kings and drawing devotees and tourists who witness daily rituals and enjoy its rich history as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors must dress modestly (covering shoulders and knees) and remove shoes, experiencing incense-filled ceremonies and viewing the relic, which rests in jewel-encrusted caskets. (Google)
