Sri Lanka has a long history involving many kings. In the 5th century, King Kashyapa usurped his father King Dhatusena, taking his place on the throne.

The Sigiriya, also known as the Lion’s Rock, features some of the oldest landscaped gardens in the world, as well as the ruins of the palace and citadel that Kashyapa built.
As legend goes, before the body of Buddha was cremated, one of his teeth was saved. The relic is now housed in Kandy, in what is appropriately known as the Temple of the Tooth.
