The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple complex is in Singapore’s Chinatown. The temple's monastics and devotees practice Chinese Buddhism. 

Built based on the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, it incorporates slight Japanese and Tibetan Buddhist influences (in certain rooms) and houses the tooth of the historical Buddha. It is claimed that the relic of Buddha from which it gains its name was found in a collapsed stupa.. The size of the tooth – measuring 7.5 cm – is far too long for a human tooth. The relic can actually be viewed by the public on the temple’s 4th floor.
