Sri Dalada Maligawa, also known as the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, is the temple where the left canine tooth of Lord Buddha is enshrined. The current Dalada Maligawa is located in the city of Kandy, Sri Lanka. During the Kingdom of Kandy (1592–1815), it was situated within the royal palace complex. The first construction of the temple was initiated by King Vimala Dharma Surya (1592–1604). The structure he built was destroyed by Portuguese invaders. The current multi-storied building was constructed by King Sri Veeraparakrama Narendrasinha (1707–1739). Subsequent kings, including the Nayakkar dynasty from South India, further developed and protected the Dalada Maligawa. The city of Kandy, where the Dalada Maligawa is located, has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The monks of the Siyam Nikaya from the Malwathu and Asgiri chapters conduct daily rituals to honor the Sacred Tooth Relic. The pujas (rituals) are performed three times a day: at dawn, midday, and evening. On Wednesdays, a special ritual known as the Nannumura Mangalyaya is conducted. During this ritual, the Sacred Tooth Relic is symbolically bathed with fragrant medicinal water. It is believed that this water has healing properties, helping to cure various diseases.
