Visit to Sri Dalada Maligawa (The Temple Of The Tooth)

While I was in Jambugahapitya, I went with my cousins to the temple of the tooth. It is a sacred place for Buddhists because that is where the tooth of lord Buddha is kept.

 We got to light oil lamps and we also got to light incenses.

We got to see the preserved body of Sri Lanka's most famouse tusker. It's name is Raja. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raja_(elephant)

It carried the sacred carrier called "Karaduwa" which symbolizes carrying the sacred tooth of Lord Buddha in our parades (Dalada Perahera) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kandy_Esala_Perahera for the most years. It sadly died one day because It was very old and sick.
