Kandy is an administrative and religious city and the capital of the Central Province. Kandy is the home of the Tooth Relic shrine (Sri Dalada Maligawa), a sacred place for Buddhists. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988 and Kandy has been known by various names in the past. Chief among them is the name Senkadagala. During the colonial era, the English name Kandy was derived. The Portuguese have shortened it to “Kandy”.

The inter-monsoon season is from March to mid-May with light rain and heavy humidity.
