Nallur Temple
Located about 10 minutes drive from the Jaffna city, the Nallur Kandaswamy Temple stands out with its god encrusted, brightly coloured ornate tower and is one of the most significant Hindu temples in the Jaffna District.
The best time to visit the Nallur Kovil is during the Thaer Thiruvila festival (Chariot Festival) , one of the biggest festivals in Jaffna.
