A festival in this country begins after sandalwood-scented water is sprinkled over a newly planted jackfruit tree. An 1885 committee named for this country’s largest city produced the five-colored International Buddhist Flag with the help of Henry Steel Olcott. In a rainmaking festival from this country, acrobats and fire jugglers accompany an elephant procession while paying homage to an object that was hidden within a princess’ hair. A meeting between King Tissa and Prince Mahinda on Mount Mihintale introduced this country to Buddhism. Many Buddhists claim that the Buddha’s footprint is imprinted on Adam’s Peak while his left canine tooth is held within a temple in this country’s city of Kandy.
