Thirukkovil Citra Velayudha Swami Kovil ((タミル語:திருக்கோவில் சித்திரவேலாயுத சுவாமி ஆலயம்)) is one of the most significant Hindu temples in the Ampara District of Eastern Province, Sri Lanka. It is situated about 71 km south of Batticaloa town. Lord Murugan with the name "Sithira Velayuthar" (literally "One with elegant spear") here is considered as the primary deity of Batticaloa chieftains and people of the country from historical time. This temple is the one and only temple referred as "Tecathuk Kovil" (litt. "Temple of Country") which is claimed as the common temple for whole "Mattakkalappu Desam" (Batti - Ampara districts nowadays). ==Etymology== "Thirukkovil" which means "Great/prominent Temple" is the term usually referred to a Hindu temple in Tamil Language. This temple was called "Thirukkovil" as it was the first temple constructed in Agamic tradition in Batticaloa region and was the ancient temple which is also praised by Batticaloa chieftains ruled from old Mattakkalappu Town situated near Sammanthurai. The village erected around "Thirukkovil" temple also got the same name and considered as sacred for its religious significant name "Thirukkovil" - "Great Temple" which can't be seen even in Tamilakam where lots of venerable Hindu temples are located.〔V.C.Kandiah (1983) "Mattakkalappu Saivak Kovilkal I" p.60 (Tamil) p.〕 A latter chronicle of Batticaloa region "Mattakkalappu Purva sarithiram"〔F.X.C.Nadarajah (1962) "Mattakkalappu Manmiyam"〕〔S.E.Kamalanathan - Kamala Kamalanathan (2005) "Mattakkalappu Purva Sarithiram"〕 mentions two alternative names for this temple "Nagarmunai" and "Kandapaana Thurai" which also used in poetic works on Thirukkovil. The term Nagarmunai or Nagamunai confirms that this region was the ancient settlement of Naga tribe from immemorial time.〔Nirmala Ramachandran (2004) "The Hindu Legacy to Sri Lanka" p.103〕 and Kandapaana Thurai ("Port of weapon of Kandan") assumes that there was an ancient harbor with a shrine of Vel or Spear (Weapon of Skanda).
