The procession of the Buddhist tooth, the sacred city of Kandy. 00:00:00
The gold casket contains the tooth relic of Buddha. 00:00:07
It is located in a temple in what was a king's palace complex in Kandy, in Sri Lanka. 00:00:11
The 500-year-old city is on a plateau, 00:00:20
surrounded by hills in the centre of the country, 00:00:23
130 kilometres from Colombo. 00:00:26
Many battles were fought to claim the tooth. 00:00:30
Finally, the Kandy dynasty took control. 00:00:34
Legend has it that the sacred tooth was brought to Sri Lanka in the 4th century, 00:00:42
when a queen from India came to marry. 00:00:46
The Sri Lankan king considered the sacred tooth a symbol of their royal power. 00:00:54
The Kandy dynasty built the temple of the tooth in the 16th century to enshrine the relic. 00:01:02
Although the dynasty is long gone, 00:01:09
the tooth of Buddha is revered by Buddhists throughout the country and worldwide. 00:01:11
Sri Lanka has been repeatedly invaded since the 13th century. 00:01:19
The capital was relocated several times. 00:01:23
But no matter where royalty went, the tooth of Buddha stayed with them. 00:01:28
The ritual of bringing out the treasured tooth from the temple began in the 18th century. 00:01:38
The tooth of Buddha begins its procession, or perahera. 00:01:47
A royal male elephant carries the sacred tooth and leads the procession. 00:01:52
About 80 elephants make their way into town. 00:01:59
Torches fend off curses. 00:02:05
The number of dancers on this evening reached 3,500. 00:02:10
Religions revere relics of saints, 00:02:21
but they are rarely made public in the way the tooth of Buddha is in Sri Lanka. 00:02:23
The procession continues for ten days. 00:02:33
It's the highlight of the annual calendar. 00:02:38
