A Hindu temple dedicated to the goddess Naga Pooshani Amman (Naga Meenakshi). Naga means 'snake' or 'cobra', but also refers to the original inhabitants of the island, worshippers of the snake god, who populated the west and north of Sri Lanka between the 6th century BC and the 3rd century. Legend has it that the building was built by a merchant who received a vision of the goddess while crossing the sea and that when the Portuguese demolished it in the 16th century, the statue of the goddess was hidden in a nearby tree. The temple was rebuilt in 1788.

Pour y aller, La traversée en bateau est une expérience inoubliable: Au fond du bateau, bondé, en étroite relation avec les sri lankais qui font de gros efforts pour nous rassurer sur la sécurité ....un de mes meilleurs moments au Sri Lanka !
