The old buildings at the Dambedeniya Dalada Maligawa', Sri Lanka of the 13th Century AD.




Whenever the Sinhalese Kings fled from their enemies they took the Sacred Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha with them. In every new capital that they founded they built an ornate structure to house the Sacred Tooth Relic. This series of photos shows such a structure.
