Wel Bodhiya & Neth Bodhiya (Kandy)
Wel Bodhiya & Neth Bodhiya (Sinhala: වැල් බෝධිය සහ නෙත් බෝධිය) are two Bodhi trees located adjacent to each other on the premises of the Temple of Tooth Relic in Kandy, Sri Lanka. Wel Bodhiya:  This Bodhi tree is located in front of the Natha Devalaya shrine. Folklore says that this is one of the off-shoots of the Sacred Bo-tree in Anuradhapura  brought here by a Brahmin. Neth Bodhiya: This Bodhi tree is located outside the entrance archway to Pattini Devalaya at the northern wall and has been planted on top of a stepped terraced platform. It is said that the mother of King  Sri Vira Parakrama Narendrasinha (1707-1739 A.D.) , who suffered from blindness, was cured at this place.
