Keerimalai Naguleswaram temple (Tamil: கீரிமலை நகுலேஸ்வரம் கோயில்), historically known also as the Thirutambaleswaram Kovil of Keerimalai, is a famous Hindu temple in Keerimalai, located north of Jaffna, Northern Province, Sri Lanka in the suburb of Kankesanthurai. One of the oldest shrines of the region, it is the northernmost of the island's Pancha Ishwarams of Siva, venerated by Hindus around the world from classical antiquity. Hindus believe its adjacent water tank, the Keerimalai Springs, to have curative properties, which irrigation studies attribute to high mineral content sourced from underground.

  • Le temple de Naguleswaram, aussi nommé temple de Keerimalai du nom de sa localisation, est un temple hindouiste réputé à Keerimalai, dans le nord de Jaffna, au Sri Lanka. C'est l'un des temples les plus anciens du Sri Lanka, situé au nord de l'île, et l'un des 5 (en), dédié au dieu Shiva. Le temple a été pratiquement détruit par les missionnaires jésuites, accompagnant les colons du Ceylan portugais vers 1560. Il est restauré par le prêtre hindouiste (en) en 1894. Pendant la guerre civile du Sri Lanka, l'armée sri-lankaise occupa le temple en 1983. L'Armée de l'air sri-lankaise la bombardera en 1993. En 2012, après une restauration, le temple rouvre. (fr)

Hindus believe its adjacent water tank, the Keerimalai Springs, to have curative properties, which irrigation studies attribute to high mineral content sourced from underground. Keerimalai is 50 feet above sea level, and situated west of Palaly. Hindus flock in large numbers on Aadi Amaavaasai day which falls during the Tamil month of Aadi, to carry out rituals for their forefathers and bathe in the natural springs. Carried out largely by men, “Keerimalai” is particularly famous for this festival. The temple was largely destroyed by Jesuit missionaries following the Portuguese conquest of the Jaffna kingdom, restored by Arumuka Navalar in 1894, was occupied by the Sri Lankan Army in 1983 and bombed by the Sri Lankan Air Force in 1993. After nearly twenty years, a major expansion and reopening of the temple occurred in 2012. (en)
