Flower Offerings, Temple of the Tooth, Sri Lanka #3

The Temple of the Tooth is considered one of Buddhism’s most sacred worship sites; a former palace of King Sri Viraparakrama Narendrasinha, the last Sinhalese king of Lanka, it was converted by the king in the 18th century into a temple to house the Tooth Relic of the Buddha. Anuradha Perera and Shermaine Willis, shown carrying a flower offering up the entrance stairway to the lower floor of the main shrine, were shot for Ashraff Associates and The Radh, Kandy, in October 2018.
