Tiruketeeswaram is a pre-historic sacred kovil in Manthoddam situated in Mannar District about seven miles north of Mannar town. It isfamous according to legends as the kovil where Ketu Bhagavan worshipped Lord Eeswaram Hence this holy shrine acquired the name of
Tiruketeeswaramfamous according to legends as the kovil where Ketu Bhagavan worshipped Lord Eeswaram. Hence this holy shrine acquired the name ofTiruketeeswaram.
According to Dr. Paul E. Peiris, an erudite scholar and historian, “long before the arrival of Vijaya (6th century B.C.) there was in Lanka fiverecognized ‘Eeswararns’ of Siva, which claimed and received adoration of all India. These were Tiruketheeswaram near Mahathitha,Munneswaram, Thondeswaram, Tirukoneswaram and Naguleswaram.
The celebrated historian J.W. Bennet wrote (1843): “At Mantotte the antiquarian will find a field for research in the still extant remains ofremote antiquity, amongst which are the vestiges of an immense tank (Giant Tank) arid the ruins of a former Hindu City, built of birch. Theantiquity of the Hindus, by whom, I humbly presume, the island was originally peopled, and their civilization at the remotest period ofq y , y , y p , g y p p , phistory, are recognized by all the ancient Eastern Philosophers.”
Another well-known historian, Cassie Chetty, had this to say: “Manthoddam was a center of international trade. Greeks, Romans,Phoenicians, Arabs, Ethiopians, Persians, Chinese, Japanese, Burmese and others vied with each other at various times to monopolise thetrade of North Ceylon ”trade of North Ceylon.
B.J. Perera, a reputed historian, wrote: “Although Mahathitha (Mathoddam) is first mentioned in connection with the landing of Vijaya’ssecond wife, a royal princess from the Pandyan Kingdom, there is no doubt that it was used as port by the Tamils long before the Aryansettlement in Ceylon. The existence of the Temple Tiruketheeswaram, the origin of which is not covered by existing records, is an indicationof the antiquity of the port. Indeed Mahathitta is the only port in the Island which can be called a buried city. Mahathittha was a great port inthe early centuries of the Christian era. Next we have the references in the Sangam literature of the Tamils describing Mahathitta as a greatport.”
Hugh Neville, another well-known researcher, said in 1887 on the illustrious city of Mathoddam a follows: “A renowned shrine grew intog , , y grepute there dedicated to one Supreme God symbolized by a single stone, and in later times restored by Vijaya, a Saivaite after lying long inruins. The temple was dedicate as Tiru - Kethes - Waram.”
This kovil, dedicated to the worship of the Supreme God Siva, has been the most venerated temple for centuries. This Temple and the holywaters of the Palavi Tank by its side are venerated in the sacred hymns of the two foremost Saiva saints Tirugnana Sampantar and Sundararwaters of the Palavi Tank by its side are venerated in the sacred hymns of the two foremost Saiva saints Tirugnana Sampantar and Sundararwho lived in the 7th and 8th centuries respectively.
This great temple was completely destroyed by the Portuguese in the 16th century and the very stones of this Temple were used by them tobuild the fort at Mannar, the churches and also the Hammershield Fort at Kayts.

“Two different nations, from a very ancient period, have divided between them thepossession of the island; the Sinhalese inhabiting the interior in its southern andwestern parts from the river Wallouwe to Chilaw, and the Malabars (Tamils) whopossess the Northern and Eastern districts. These two nations differ entirely in theirreligion, language and manners.” – Sir High Cleghorn – British colonial secretary –
