Sri-LankaDescription and is it worth a visit
Maviddapuram Kandaswamy Kovil is a large and important Hindu temple. According to one legend, it was built 5,000 years ago to keep one of the most important Hindu shrines. According to another version, it was built in the 8th century. The more real story is that the present structure of the temple was erected in the 17th century instead of the previously destroyed one, and it has survived to this day almost in its original form, although it has undergone multiple restorations. Moreover, repair work does not stop today.
Tourists can visit the temple without restrictions, you can even take pictures inside. Believers on ordinary days are very few.
