"A cultural heritage of Sri Lanka. The first temple to house the tooth was built c. 1600 during the reign of King Vimaladharmasuriya I, but it was destroyed by a Portuguese invasion in 1603. It was rebuilt in the mid-17th century and destroyed again. The present temple was built during the reign of King Kirthi Sri Rajasinghe in the 18th century."

"Famous temple that is said to hold one of the Buddhas teeth. You can go at 5pm to see the drum ceremony although its super super crowded so long lines. I personally didn't really find it worth it unless you have a tour guide since I didn't know what I was looking at. "
