Description: |
|
Kandy is a major city in Sri Lanka located in the Central
Province. It was the last capital of the ancient kings' era of
Sri Lanka. The city lies in the midst of hills in the Kandy
plateau, which crosses an area of tropical plantations, mainly
tea. Kandy is both an administrative and religious city and is
also the capital of the Central Province. Kandy is the home of
the Temple of the Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa), one of the
most sacred places of worship in the Buddhist world. It was
declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1988. Historically
the local Buddhist rulers resisted Portuguese, Dutch, and
British colonial expansion and occupation. |
