Kandy, also known as Mahanuwara in Sinhala and Kandi in Tamil, 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 is situated amidst hills in the Kandy plateau, which spans an area of tropical plantations, mainly tea.
Kandy is both an administrative and religious city and serves as the capital of the Central Province. Notably, it is home to the Temple of the Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa), one of the most sacred places of worship in the Buddhist world. This temple was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988. Historically, Kandy’s local Buddhist rulers resisted Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonial expansion and occupation.
Kandy remains a vibrant city with bustling streets, ancient temples, colonial architecture, aristocratic gardens, and the picturesque Kandy Lake. Visitors can explore its rich history, cultural sites, and natural beauty, making it a must-visit destination in Sri Lanka.
