Nagar Kovil, Point-Pedro, Sri Lanka.

The road to Nagar Kovil from Kudaththanai.

The historic Nagar Kovil temple rebuilt.

I met the temple priest and inquired about the origin of this temple. He said it belonged to very ancient times, of the time of the 'Yakkar and Naagar'. A very pious Hindu recluse had been told in a dream to come to this place. When the recluse came here he saw a 'five headed cobra' under a tree. He had started a place of worship and it thrived with time. In the 1950s it drew large crowds. It was destroyed during the recent past and is now rebuilt.
