Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum, Buddhist temple and museum in Chinatown, Singapore.

The temple exhibits Tang Dynasty architectural elements with red facades, curved roofs, and a grand entrance hall containing a five-meter Buddha statue.

The temple was constructed in 2007 at a cost of 75 million Singapore dollars to house what believers consider Buddha's left canine tooth from Kushinagar.

The Buddhist Culture Museum on the third floor displays 300 artifacts from China, Myanmar, and Thailand, presenting different Buddhist traditions and practices.

The temple welcomes visitors daily from 7 AM to 5 PM without entrance fees, requiring modest clothing and offering guided tours lasting two hours.

The sacred tooth relic rests inside a 3.5-ton stupa crafted from 320 kilograms of gold, accessible only to monks in the Sacred Light Hall.
