This rare exposition, which draws millions of devotees and pilgrims, will take place from April 17 to 27, 2025. On the opening day, the ceremony begins at 3 PM, with the intricate rituals surrounding the removal of the relic taking nearly three hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"531\" data-end=\"1004\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This sacred relic, believed to have been retrieved from the Buddha&#8217;s funeral pyre before it was consumed by flames, was preserved by Arahant Khema and entrusted to King Brahmadatta of Kalinga (modern-day Odisha). It was later brought to Sri Lanka by Prince Dantha and Princess Hemamala, the son-in-law and daughter of King Guhasiva of Kalinga. From then on, the relic became the symbolic palladium of Sinhala sovereignty\u2014both a deeply spiritual icon and a political emblem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1324\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Access to the relic is highly restricted. The keys to its resting place are safeguarded by the Mahanayake of Asgiriya, while the keys to the outer casket are held by the Mahanayake of Malwatta. The keys to the Golden Karaduwa and bulletproof glass casing are with the Diyawadana Nilame\u2014the lay custodian of the temple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1326\" data-end=\"1620\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The relic has a storied and sacred journey through Sri Lanka\u2019s history, having traversed twelve locations: Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Kotmale, Beligala, Dambadeniya, Yapahuwa, back to Polonnaruwa, Kurunegala, Gampola, Kotte, Delgamuwa, and finally to Kandy (Senkadagala Pura), its current home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1622\" data-end=\"2055\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Throughout centuries of invasions and upheaval, the Sacred Tooth Relic was hidden, safeguarded, and sometimes even taken abroad. In 1284, it was taken to India by Arya Chakravarti, a minister of the Pandyan king, after invading Yapahuwa. It was later recovered by King Parakramabahu and brought to Polonnaruwa. During the colonial period, King Sri Vikrama Rajasinha concealed it in Pusulpitiya, Kotmale, as the British entered Kandy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2057\" data-end=\"2681\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Sir John D\u2019Oyly, the British Resident Representative, later returned the relic to Kandy with royal ceremony and enshrined it once more in the Dalada Maligawa. However, skepticism about the relic\u2019s supposed powers remained. In 1828, Governor Sir Edward Barnes requested the relic be publicly displayed to observe its influence. This request, granted by the then Diyawadana Nilame Kuda Molligoda and the Mahanayakes of Asgiriya and Malwatta, led to the relic being taken to the Maha Maluwa. Upon its removal, a light drizzle turned into a torrential downpour that lasted seven days\u2014an event remembered as the \u201cDalada Wathura.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2683\" data-end=\"3007\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Despite Governor Barnes\u2019s plea to return the relic to the temple amid the flooding, the priests stood firm in their traditions. It was only after this event, and after more than 1,500 years since King Kirthi Sri Meghavarnabhaya (301\u2013328 CE), that ordinary citizens were once again allowed to venerate the Sacred Tooth Relic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3009\" data-end=\"3353\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Diyawadana Nilame, or &#8220;Dhathurakkadikari&#8221; as defined in the <em data-start=\"3073\" data-end=\"3089\">Dalada Siritha<\/em>, is the sole authority responsible for the rituals and protection of the Sacred Tooth Relic. Only he may present the relic during the exposition. Former Diyawadana Nilame Neranjan Wijerathne, who presided over twelve such expositions, emphasized this sacred duty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3355\" data-end=\"3731\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">At the heart of the relic\u2019s enshrinement lies a remarkable casket\u2014the seventh Karanduwa, shaped like a corn cob and designed as a hair ornament. This is believed to be the original container used by Prince Dantha and Princess Hemamala to secretly transport the relic from Kalinga to Sri Lanka. It is rarely seen, held securely by the Mahanayakes of both Malwatta and Asgiriya.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"3733\" data-end=\"3945\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This upcoming exposition offers not just a glimpse of a sacred object but a profound encounter with Sri Lanka\u2019s spiritual and royal heritage\u2014a living testimony to centuries of devotion, tradition, and resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex justify-start\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"absolute\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"pointer-events-none h-px w-px\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\"><\/div>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" data-edge=\"true\">\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em><a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/elanka-newsletter-sign-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Click here to receive your free copy of the eLanka Newsletter twice a week delivered directly\u00a0to\u00a0your\u00a0inbox!<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sacred Palladium of Sinhala Royalty: A Rare Exposition of the Tooth Relic After 16 Years &#8211; By Malsha &#8211; eLanka For the first time in sixteen years, the Sacred Tooth Relic of the Buddha, enshrined in the revered Sri Dalada Maligawa in Kandy, will be brought out for public veneration.
