It was built within the royal palace complex which houses a relic of Buddha, a tooth, which is venerated by Buddhists. Monks of the two chapters of Malwatte and Asgiriya conduct daily ritual worship in the inner chamber of the temple, in annual rotation. They conduct these services three times a day: at dawn, at noon and in the evening.
