Kandy is a hill city in the centre of Sri Lanka, and is known as the country's cultural capital. Having survived numerous European invasions, Kandy was the home of several Sinhalese kingdoms over the past 2,500 years. Today, the city and its surroundings have many important temples, beautiful rugged landscapes, and plenty of hustle and bustle.
In this video I explore the Temple of the Sacred Tooth, which is a lavish and lively temple complex where it's believed that one of the Buddha's teeth is stored. This Temple is an important place of pilgrimage for Theravadan Buddhists, and one can observe people at the height of devotion, reciting prayers, lighting oil lamps and offering flowers.
I also eat a tasty lunch of paneer dosa, then get my hair cut... or rather, shaved! Watch!
