Reports indicate that a large number of people from all parts of the island have been arriving at the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic to pay homage since the opening day. Accordingly, yesterday alone, nearly one hundred and twenty-five thousand devotees were able to venerate the Sacred Tooth Relic.
The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic is also operating alms halls 24 hours a day to provide meals for the people who have come for the “Siri Dalada Wandanawa”.
The Maha Sangha (Buddhist clergy) has requested the devotees who come for the Sacred Tooth Relic pilgrimage not to pollute the city of Kandy by carelessly disposing of garbage.
