Nestled close to the Udawattakele Sanctuary, The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic is one of the most important shrines of Sri Lanka. Also named as Dalada Maligawa, this temple is based in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Kandy.

Housing the legendary Budda tooth, the temple is a World Heritage site though very little are the remnants of the original temple built around 1600. Amazing ornamentation with golden fence and extravagant Canadian architecture makes it a blissful sight for the visitors.

Dedicated monks unanimously chant the prayers of Malwatte and Aegirine, three times every day, during dawn, noontime and evening at the inner temple. Every Wednesday a holy symbolic bath of the Relic is done is fragrant water and that water is distributed among the visitors known to have healing powers.

Just north of Sri Lanka’s capital Colombo, sits the beach-side city of Negombo with its six metre-long reclining Buddha at the Angurukaramulla Temple. Once an international hub for cinnamon thanks to the Dutch (you’ll spot remnants of European influence throughout the city), Negombo is now famous for its fish – and its fishermen. Photographers cannot miss taking in the scenery surrounding Negombo Lagoon. Connected to the sea via a narrow channel, it’s lined with fishermen’s huts and grassland dotted with rice paddies and coconut plantations. Snap cormorants, herons and egrets or time your visit for the fishermen’s return from a day’s work – their oruvas (outrigger canoes) sweeping into the shore is a spectacular shot.
