The Relic of the tooth of Buddha is venerated in Sri Lanka

The Relic of the tooth of Buddha (Pali danta dhatuya) is venerated in Sri Lanka, as a cetiya relic of Gautama Buddha, on whose teachings Buddhism was founded. According to Sri Lankan legends, when the Buddha died in 543 BC, his body was cremated in a sandalwood pyre at Kushinagar and his left canine tooth was retrieved from the funeral pyre by his disciple, Khema. Khema then gave it to King Brahmadatte for veneration. Sri Dalada Maligawa or the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic is a Buddhist temple in the city of Kandy, Sri Lanka. It is located in the royal palace complex of the former Kingdom of Kandy, which houses the relic of the tooth of the Buddha.
