Historical Context & Expedition Insights

Encircled by misty green mountain ridges and a serene central lake, Kandy was the final stronghold of the Sinhalese Kings against colonial European powers. Here rests Sri Lanka's holiest treasure: the Sacred Relic of the Tooth of the Buddha, housed in a golden lotus casket within the ornate Sri Dalada Maligawa.
