Kandy’s focal point is, without
doubt, the DALANDA MALIGAWA,
where the scared Tooth Relic of the Buddha is enshrined.
The ROYAL BOTANICAL GARDENS,
Peradeniya, begun as a pleasure garden by a Sinhala king,
are 147 acres in extent.
The magnificently-sited UNIVERSITY,
with its traditional Sinhala architecture, is worth a visit.
For DEDICATED SHOPPERS, Kandy
is truly heaven….visit the government run Laksala
or the Kandyan Arts Association
for quality and value in wood, copper, silver, brass, ivory,
ebony, bronze, ceramics, lacquer work, hand-looms, batiks,
jewellery, filigree, antiques, rush and reed ware.
