The exposition of the Sacred Tooth Relic, *Sri Dalada Vandana*, will commence at 11:00 AM starting today (21st). Considering the unexpectedly large crowd, the chief prelates of the Asgiri and Malwatta Chapters, together with the Diyawadana Nilame, have decided to extend the exhibition hours beginning today.
Today marks the fourth day of the special Dalada Exposition, which will continue until April 27th. Originally, the temple was scheduled to open for public viewing from 12:30 PM to 5:30 PM.
However, under the guidance of the Malwatta and Asgiri Mahanayake Theros and with the intervention of the Diyawadana Nilame, it has now been decided to open the Sri Dalada Maligawa to the general public from 11:00 AM onwards.
Sources at the Dalada Maligawa stated that this decision was made in response to the overwhelming number of devotees waiting in long queues to worship the Sacred Relic.
