golden-roofed Temple of the Sacred Tooth
houses Sri Lanka’s most important Buddhist
relic – a tooth of the Buddha.
During puja (offerings or prayers), the
heavily guarded room housing the tooth
is open to devotees and tourists. However,you don’t actually see the tooth. It’s kept in
a gold casket shaped like a dagoba (stupa),
which contains a series of six dagoba caskets
of diminishing size.

area and as well as the main shrine there111111111111111111111111111111111 111 11 111 11 111 11 111 11 111 11 111 11 111 11 111 166
