"The Temple of the Tooth Relic: A Sacred Sanctuary in Kandy, Ceylon" Step into a world of spirituality and awe-inspiring beauty at the Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy, Ceylon. This magnificent temple holds great significance for Buddhists around the world as it houses one of their most sacred relics – a tooth believed to have belonged to Gautama Buddha himself. Dating back to 1898, Christian Wilhelm Allers captured the enchanting allure of this temple with his stunning artwork. The intricate architecture and serene surroundings make it an architectural marvel that stands tall even today. In 1895, W &s Ltd provided us with a breathtaking view from Lady Horton's Walk. From here, one can witness the grandeur of this holy site nestled amidst lush greenery and surrounded by mist-covered mountains. The beating heart of this spiritual haven is Menika - drummer at the Temple of the Tooth. His rhythmic beats echo through time, calling devotees to gather and pay homage to Lord Buddha. Dewale (s. Tafel 58) bei der Dagoba des Heiligen Zahnes showcases another aspect of this sacred place – its tranquil dagoba or stupa where pilgrims offer prayers and seek blessings. Immerse yourself further into its sanctity with Kloster im Tempeldes Heiligen Zahnes (Dalada Maligawa Vihara), Kandy. This monastery within the temple complex provides solace for those seeking inner peace and enlightenment. As we explore Der Tempel des Hiligen Zahnes Buddhas in Kandy (im Vordergrund der achteckige Bau Pattiripuwa), we are captivated by its octagonal structure known as Pattiripuwa which adds an element of mystique to this already magical place.
