Nallur Kandaswamy temple
Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil or Nallur Murugan Kovil ((タミル語:நல்லூர் கந்தசுவாமி கோவில்)) is one of the most significant Hindu temples in the Jaffna District of Northern Province, Sri Lanka. It stands in the town of Nallur. The presiding deity is Lord Murugan in the form of the holy Vel. The idol of the Nallur Devi or goddess was given to the temple in the 10th century CE by the Chola queen Sembiyan Mahadevi, in the style of Sembian bronzes.
==Origins==
The Nallur Kandaswamy Temple was founded in 948. According to the ''Yalpana Vaipava Malai'', the temple was developed at the site in the 13th century by Puvenaya Vaku, a minister to the Jaffna King Kalinga Magha. Sapumal Kumaraya (also known as ''Chempaha Perumal'' in Tamil), who ruled the Jaffna kingdom on behalf of the Kotte kingdom is credited with either building or renovating the third Nallur Kandaswamy temple.〔Peebles, ''History of Sri Lanka'', p. 34〕〔Gnanaprakasar, S ''A critical history of Jaffna'', p. 103〕 Nallur served as the capital of the Jaffna kings, with the royal palace situated very close to the temple. Nallur was built with four entrances with gates.〔 There were two main roadways and four temples at the four gateways.〔
The rebuilt temples that exist now do not match their original locations which instead are occupied by churches erected by the Portuguese.〔 The center of the city was ''Muthirai Santhai'' (market place) and was surrounded by a square fortification around it.〔 There were courtly buildings for the kings, Brahmin priests, soldiers and other service providers.〔 The old Nallur Kandaswamy temple functioned as a defensive fort with high walls.〔 In general, the city was laid out like the traditional temple town according to Hindu traditions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Nallur Rajadhani: City Layout )〕 ''Cankilian Thoppu'', the facade of the palace of King Cankili II, can still be found in Nallur.〔Kunarasa, K ''The Jaffna Dynasty'', p. 4〕 The third temple was destroyed by the Portuguese Catholic colonial Phillippe de Oliveira in 1624 CE.
