Known as Buddhas Tooth at [[Dantapura]], the capital of the [[Kalinga (historical kingdom)|Kalingas]]. While ancient Dantapuram sank into oblivion, [[Kandy]] receives tens of thousands of visitors every month. Historians believe it to be the capital of Kalinga Kingdom. Emperor Asoka fought [[Kalinga War]] in 261&amp;nbsp;BC.<br /> <br /> The word &#039;&#039;danta&#039;&#039; in [[Telugu language]] means [[Tooth]]. Dantapura, the reputed capital of ancient Kalingas. There is similarity between Dantavuram and Dantapura of the Buddhist chronicles induces me to identify Dantavuram.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}} This identification is also corroborated by the writings of the ancient Roman geographer, [[Pliny the Elder|Pliny]] who mentions about the Calingoe in his [[Natural History (Pliny)|Natural History]].<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> *https://web.archive.org/web/20070928003605/http://www.tlca.com/adults/buddhist.html<br /> <br /> [[Category:Buddhist pilgrimage sites in India]]<br /> [[Category:Archaeological sites in Andhra Pradesh]]</div>
