Manthai
Manthai ((タミル語:மாந்தை)) is a coastal town and an ancient harbor situated in the Mannar district, of the Northern Province of Sri Lanka. Historically known as ''Manthottam/Manthoddam'', it is an important religious site in the island for the Hindus, due to the Ketheeswaram Kovil, one of the five ''Ishvarams'' dedicated to Lord Shiva in the island.〔Arumugam pp-15〕 ==Etymology and Name== Manthai the present day name given by the locals for the town, is possibly a derivation from the ancient Tamil name Manthottam/Manthoddam which may translate into ''Garden of the Deers''. The term Manthottam is mentioned in many ancient Tamil epics.〔 Sinhalese epics refer to both the town as well as the town of Mannar by the term Mahathittha.
