"Dalada Maligawa"this is name of temple of tooth relic which is called by Sri Lankans.The temple was built by king Vimaladharmasuriya I(1592-1603),and this was again modify and rebuilt during(1747-1781).This temple was built in Kandy.The temple was badly damaged by a bomb blast in 1998,and it took several years to rebuilt.At first the tooth was kept in India.It is a tooth of Lord Buddha.The tooth was taken to Sri Lanka by hidden in the hair of an Orissan princess.It was taken because of the problems had in India about Buddhism.Now this temple became very famous among tourist.Every year to honor Lord Buddha,Sri Lankan celebrate a festival called Esala Perahera(the festival of tooth relic).I already wrote about this festival a beautiful and colorful festival.Near this temple we can see a small beautiful Hindu kovil.I like this place.I went with my family and friends more than five times.It is really a beautiful temple.
