The gold roof covers the Tooth Relic of Buddha. In particular, its his left incisor. It is said that who possesses this tooth has legitimacy to control Sri Lanka. You can see why its a valuable relic. Very few people actually get to see the tooth itself. The first picture is a shot from the balcony of our hotel, Sharon Inn (a great place and a definite place to stay if you are in Kandy - the kitchen was excellent!!!!).
