In Kandy (referred as the hill capital), Sri Dalada Maligawa houses the sacred tooth relic of Buddha and remains and the prime landmark. Apart from the ancient monuments, the delightful jumble of antique shops and the bustling market are places to visit. Peradeniya Botanical Gardens origin dates back to the era of medieval times while bearing a rich history punctuated by colonialism and industrial change.
