There are very few sacred places remaining, where the Buddhist world can actually worship. The Sacred Temple of Tooth in Sri Lanka being probably one of those very special places. This magnificently decorated palace enshrines the sacred left upper canine tooth relic of Lord Buddha, which rests on a solid gold lotus flower, encased in jewel caskets that sit on a throne. The tooth is on view to the public twice a day and we were lucky to go to a viewing in the evening.
As with all temples shoes are left outside..
