The tooth relic was brought to Sri Lanka in the 4th century AD from India and as a most sacred object was moved from capital to capital by successive kings until finally enshrined in Kandy by Vimaladharmasuriya (ruled 1592-1604).
The sacred relic is carried in a casket on the back of an elephant during the procession of the Festival of the August Moon, accompanied by traditional dancers and chieftains wearing the dress and regalia of the Kandyan Kings.
I think dis website is a great website, 4 research students like us. Hope u’d be able develop it more and feed more information on history of Srilanka plus ancient photos of it. Wish u all the best!

i dont have word to thanks to u
It’s very delightful to see and pay-homage the Tooth-relic of the Buddha. I never expect to see it even as a picture though I’ve been in Sri Lanka for a long time, yet it is very fortunate of me to find out the picture of Buddha’s tooth. I feel satisfied enough ever since in SL.
Hello Sir,
This relic was also brought to a Monastary at Rangapani, near Siliguri, West Bengal, India but i could not remember the exact date so can you please send me some information and some photographs of that great moment.. ??
Thank You
