It was the one day that the weather really mattered, and the rains came. We were going to leave from an airfield outside of Kandy, but morning rains in Colombo delayed the helicopter for a few hours, and we made the executive decision to scrap the aerial shoot. We made the best of the day and visited the sacred Temple of the Tooth, where the tooth of the Buddha is encased in a golden shrine.
Wars have been fought over this relic, and those who have control over it are said to be able to control the rain. Afterwards we drove to another Buddhist site in Dambulla. Beyond the newly built ridiculous Disney World entrance, a magnificent 2,500 year old cave temple was built into the side of a small mountain.
Centuries ago, monks began carving elaborate tunnels into the rocks, creating hundreds of statues of Buddha, mini-dagobas, and various Hindu Gods. The rock ceilings are intricately painted with scenes depicting the origins and evolution off Buddhism.
