Monday 02 March 2009 16:55
SriLankan Airlines invites Buddhist pilgrims to a special exposition of the scared Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha from the 6th to the 16th of March 2009. This event will be held in the picturesque city of Kandy, located a hundred kilometers away from Sri Lanka’s commercial capital of Colombo. The Scared Tooth Relic is only exposed to the gaze of worshippers on special occasions; the last exposition was 5 years ago.

The Holy Tooth Relic is considered to be the most sacred object of Buddhism and the precious symbol of pride and sovereignty of the island country of Sri Lanka. Since ancient times, the Tooth Relic has also played an important role in local Sri Lankan politics. It is believed that whoever holds the relic will govern the Island Country; this has caused ancient kings to expend significant resources to protect it. Today, the Holy Tooth Relic is enshrined at the Sri Dalada Maligawa Temple in the sacred city of Kandy (declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1988).
