Pathirakali Amman Temple ((タミル語:பத்திரகாளி அம்பாள் கோயில்)) – Pathirakali Ambal Kovil – or the Kali Kovil, Trincomalee is a Hindu temple dedicated to the goddess Bhadrakali, a form of the goddess Kali Amman in Trincomalee, Eastern Province, North East Sri Lanka. The Kali temple of the ancient ''Trincomalee Koneswaram Temple Compounds'', a large complex of connected shrines in the Trincomalee Konesar Malai area, the temple is located close to the Trincomalee Hindu College. Made in classical Dravidian architecture, the ''Kovil'' is located just beyond the Konesar Road Esplanade before the entrance to Konamamalai (Swami Rock). Proximal to the ancient Koneswaram temple, both ancient temples share functions during the Ther Thiruvillah Festival period and the Back Bay Sea (Theertham Karatkarai). Pathirakali Amman temple has attracted pilgrims from before the 11th century CE. King Rajendra Chola I expanded the shrine significantly during his reign, an inscription he left detailing this is displayed on the premises.〔("Trinco historic Pathirakali Amman temple festival begins" ).
