Hindu temple, located on a rock, which offers beautiful views of the town of Trincomalee and the ocean. The road leading to the temple is quite picturesque, through huge trees past the ancient fort, where deer walk around. The temple is dedicated to the main deity of Shaivism - the god Shiva. You can only get there on foot, and part of the way you will have to do barefoot under the scorching sun, because in the middle of the way you will have to hand over your shoes.
Near the temple you can see a lot of home-made, wicker cradles on the trees. Come here to ask for the birth of a child.
On the observation deck you will find a golden statue of the King of Sri Lanka, Ravanan, who wanted an heir so much that he played the gods on his own nerves ...in the literal sense! He had to pull his nerves out of his body, make strings out of them and play until they burst ...A monument was erected to the King and it was from here that the expression "play on nerves" came from.
