Kandy, a city in Sri Lanka's Central Province, holds historical significance as the last capital of the Sinhalese monarchy from 1469 to 1818. Known for its lush hills and tea plantations, Kandy is home to the revered Temple of the Tooth Relic, a sacred Buddhist site. Its rich history includes resistance against colonial powers like the Portuguese, Dutch, and British. The city's name has evolved over time, with popular variations like Senkadagala and Maha Nuwara. Overall, Kandy blends administrative importance with religious heritage, making it a unique destination in Sri Lanka.
