This video takes the viewer on a tour of the historically and archaeologically significant temple at Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte, Colombo, which was rebuilt from the ruins of an ancient temple that dates back to the Kotte Kingdom period of Sri Lanka (15th to 16th century). It also features an archaeological monument located near the temple called the "Gal Ambalama" (doss house or wayside rest) dating back to the same period.
The temple was once the abode of what is believed to be a tooth relic of the Buddha, and the palace shown at 7:49 memorializes it and contains a symbol of the relic.

My grateful thanks to everyone at the Kotte temple who very courteously provided the information sought for, especially Ranjit, a functionary of the temple, who took the time and the trouble to show me around the temple premises.
