Colombo,

1910

Hindu Temple, Pettah, Colombo, Ceylon.

The Sammangodu Sri Kathirvelayutha Swamy Kovil temple dedicated to the Hindu god Lord Muragan

When the Indian Hindu community first arrived in Sri Lanka in the last half of the 19th Century they purchased this temple at 1st Cross Street in Pettah. Most of the early immigrants were Tamil, and this prominent temple was one of a handful that served a community that today amounts in size to nearly 15%
