Sri Dalada Maligawa, The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (official site)

This is the official website of Sri Dalada Maligawa, the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic in Kandy, Sri Lanka, the temple's own account of the relic's traditional fourth century arrival, its historic role as a royal palladium of Sinhalese kingship, and its present enshrinement in seven nested gold caskets. As the custodian temple's own primary presentation it is the correct source for how the temple itself describes the relic's history and current ceremonial status. Its limit is that it presents the temple's own tradition and institutional voice, not independent historical verification of the relic's authenticity or exact origin, so a claim about the tooth's actual historical provenance needs an independent scholarly source alongside this custodial account.
