The Temple of the Tooth in Kandy houses the ‘Sacred Tooth Relic’, an object of veneration to Buddhists. From ancient times kings have kept the Sacred Tooth Relic as a symbol of power. The Tooth Relic was first brought to the island by Prince Dhantha and Princess Hemamali during the reign of King Kirti Sri Meghavanna (301 – 328 AD). It is believed that whoever has possession of the Tooth Relic has the power to rule.
