THIRUKETHEESWARAM

THE STORY OF AN ANCIENT SIVA TEMPLE KANTHIAH VAITHINATHAN

The worship of Siva, as the Supreme, the Absolute, is the oldest and most widespread of all religions of antiquity. Tradition claims it to be as old as creation itself. Centuries before Himalayas rose and became the symbol of spiritual tradition, Siva cult was prevalent all over the vast Indo-African-Polynesian continent of which our little Ceylon formed also a part. Archaeological discoveries by Sir John Marshall in the Indus valley and George Febrei and others in Malta, Madagascar, and Crete, seem to indicate that nearly ten thousand years ago Siva was worshipped as Maha Deva – the great God – a form of proto – Saivaism. The seals found at Mohenja – Daro also depict the God as a deity with three faces –the Trinity ideal – possibly a version of Brahma, Vishnu and Siva of later date. The Trimugha (three faced) Siva, 3,000 B.C. is of as much interest as the single – faced deity of the earlier seals.

According to Pranas there were 1,008 Siva Temples in the Northern regions beyond Himalayas, 1,008 between Himalayas and Cape Comorin and 1,008 in the continent of South of Cape Comorin. Ceylon is only a dot in the vast third area.

Thiruketheeswaram, in the village of Mantota is one of the two most sacred pre-historic temples in Ceylon which have been referred to in Sanskrit Classical Literature and received laudatory hymns from Saiva Saints. The other Koneswara (Trincomalee). They are reputed as Dakshana (Southern)Kailas, as counterpart of Northern Kailas, which is in the Himalayas.

Ravana, the King of Lanka, was a devotee of Koneswara and his father-in-law Mayan, is said to have built the ancient temple at Thiruketheeswaram. Rama, who built the Sivan Temple at Rameshwaram, on his way back to Ayodya from Lanka, is reputed to have worshipped Lord Siva at Thiruketheeswaram as well. According to tradition, Arjuna, the hero of Mahabaratha war and the kinsman and disciple of Lord Krishna, also visited Thiruketheeswaram in the course of his pilgrimage to the south. It is said that it was during those travels that he met the Naga Princess, Alli Arasani, who ruled over the region adjoining Mantota. Some ruins on the mainland North of Mannar Island are to-day pointed out as the forts of Alli.

According to Buddhist literature, the place was known as Mahatitha from third century B.C. If as claimed by certain scholars in accord with tradition, Rama, Agastyar and Arjuna crossed over to Lanka through this harbour at Mantota, it may be surmised that Prince Vijaya too and his party came by the same route. If so, the Sivan temple at which Upatissa, the Brahmin priest, who accompanied Vijaya, is said to have performed Poojah cannot be any other shrine than Thiruketheeswaram itself. The Yalpana Vaipava Malai, a record of historical tradition as prepared by Mailvagana Pulavar, a Jaffna Poet, for the Dutch Governor of Jaffna in 1736, states:

“Prince Vijaya, soon after he landed on the shores of Ceylon in the sixth century B.C. caused to be rebuilt the Temple of Thiruketheeswaram, which had long been in ruins”

In the mediaeval period, the Pandiya Kings were devoted to Lord Ketheeswara and improvements to His Temple had been effected by them in the sixth century A.D., by which time the sea – port, Maha Thuvadda (Matota) had become Mantota.

The next important reference to Thiruketheeswaram is in the hymns of the Saiva saints, Thirugnana sambanthamoorthy Nayanar and Sundaramoorthy Nayanar, who lived in the seventh and nineth centuries respectively. Mantota is described in those hymns in great detail, as a fertile and flourishing land. The shrine itself is praised as one that bestowed on the worshippers liberation from Karmic Law and the enjoyment of supreme wisdom and bliss. The following gives an idea of the characteristics of the sea and the landscape of that period:

The waves of the sea adjoining the temple reached the skies and its roar vied with the festival drums and suppressed all other sounds of the thickly populated country side, implying that at that time ocean – going vessels could have passed through the creek between Mannar Island and the mainland, which has since become much silted up, and more so during British times owing to two obstructions recently built, namely, the causeway for the road and the railway track. The harbour itself was safe refuge for many ships from various countries which

crowded into it at any one time. The city of Mantota was rich with gold, pearls, and precious stones. In its grooves of coconut, mango, arecanut and plantain the density of trees was so great that monkeys sported from branch to branch, and flocks of peacocks danced in their cool shade. The scent from the flowers of the walls laid gardens oppressed the air and the hum of swarms of bees which kept on flitting from flower to flower, shrub to shrub, competed with the strains of music emanating from the homes of citizens.

This prosperity is in keeping with the descriptions in Raja Ratna Kara of the suzerainty of the Tamils in what was then the most populated parts of Ceylon during the nineth and the tenth centuries.

The next two centuries were periods of even greater progress and by 1,028 A.D., during the reign of Rajendra Chola, Mantota was a beautiful city of 10 square miles with broad roads, palatial buildings, etc. The temple had seven Prakarams (circuits)and tall towers on all four sides of each circuit, as in the case of present temples at Madura or Srirangam. Besides vast paddy fields in the neighbouring areas, there was also sugar cane cultivation; and weaving industry flourished. Inscriptions in support of these statements are to be extant.

Sixteenth to the Eighteenth centuries were the darkest periods in the history of Thiruketheeswaram. Besides ravages caused by nature and neglect, the Portuguese invaders destroyed the Temple and ravaged the city and, literally carried away its stones. The Dutch saw to it that that nothing happened here.

The first attempt to restore Thiruketheeswaram Temple was made in 1872 by the great Hindu reformer, Sri La Sri Arumuga Navalar; but his efforts met with no immediate success on account of the apathy of the Saivites and the opposition from Christians of that period. Fourteen years after his death, his dream was fulfilled when the jungle land of 40 acres, was bought by the Saivites of Jaffna at an auction sale held at Jaffna Kachcheri on 13.12.1893 by Sir William Twynam, C.C.S., Government Agent, who has also left in his Administration Report some permanent record of the past glory of Thiruketheeswaram Temple.

An authentic record of the conditions of this ancient temple site immediately before any restoration work was commenced may be gleaned from a paper read by Mr. W J S Boake C.C.S., on November 7, 1887, entitled “Thiruketheeswaram , Mahatirtha Matoddam or Mantoddai” (See Royal Asiatic Society Journal, Volume No. 35)

“Nothing remains above ground of this ancient city except a few fragments of sculptured figures, broken tiles, bricks and pieces of pottery. Its site

is extremely overgrown by low dense jungle, the only large trees being a few tanaku and baobab. Indications may still be seen of the old streets, and there are two or three old wells. The foundations of a brick building, somewhere about the centre of the hill, on which I believe the greater part of the city stood, are pointed out as those of the palace; and the entrance of the temple is said to have been near the old well.”

Mr. P Ramanathan (later Sir Ponnambalam) who appears to have been present at the meeting, contradicted a part this report and added an illuminating comment, particularly, on the Hindu aspects of the site. He also said that the sites of old buildings were not part of a secular city but were all appurtenances of the Temple and that the population of the area were office bearers, devotees, and workers of the temple. One significant characteristic of the area which Mr. Boake and the earlier British observers overlooked was the presence of a double moat round the so-called “citadel”, which, it is now clear, contained sea water barrier outside and a freshwater protection (which was not accessible to any casual invader) inside, which must have formed a strong defence of the property of a rich Temple such as it was. Mr. Boake also stated: -

“Inscriptions have been found in some stones, of which rubbings were furnished to the Society by Mr. E M Byrde, but they have found so imperfect that it has not been possible to decipher them”

Recent archaeological excavations and inspections, particularly those by the late Mr. S. Sanmoganathan have, it is understood, led to the deciphering of some of these inscriptions.

In support of Sir P. Ramanathan's surmise that the ancient " citadel " within the two moats consisted purely of religious buildings, we now know many confirmatory facts. The appurtenances of the Temple overflowed even the limits of the " citadel ". There are two villages about 2 miles away from the Temple; one is called Papamoddai, meaning the residence of Brahmin priests and the other, Maligaithiddal, the area for palaces. There is also a large and influential community of cultivators, resident beyond these villages whose ancestors were artificers in metal working for the Temple.

The excavations in the neighbourhood of the Temple have confirmed the existence here of at least one ancient Temple - city of great eminence. There are indications here, as in all sites of such great antiquity, of the remains of such earlier cities beneath the foundations of the last which was destroyed in the Middle Ages.

The original site of the Temple, which had been razed to the ground, was traced in June 1894 from the clue afforded by the old well on the Temple land. The

Sivalingam which was in worship in pre - Portuguese period, a Nandi and a Ganesha images were discovered near the old foundations of what is believed to be the old Temple site. It was recorded in contemporary press that Mr. Pasupathy Chettiar of Jaffna, Honorary Treasurer of the Saivaparipalana Sabai, took Kurukkals, temple architects, masons, and labourers from Jaffna to Thiruketheeswaram and spent eight months in the fever - infested jungle between January and August 1894 to conduct investigations and construct a small new Temple on the old site, most of which still survive.

The Naddukoddai chettiars both in Jaffna and in Colombo took an interest in this Temple from the beginning. Subsequently, the Temple itself came under the management of the Old and New Kathiresan Temples of Colombo. At present, it is under the management of a Panchayat of the Thiruketheeswaram Temple Restoration Society on which, by a rule of the Society, the two Colombo Temples will always have representation.

The present Shrines which were consecrated on 28th June, 1903, had gone into disrepair by the passage of time and were renovated (without any additions or structural improvements) in August 1952 at the instance of the Thiruketheeswaram Temple Restoration Society, which had its beginnings at a meeting of the Hindus in Colombo on October 19, 1918. This enables the poojas and worship to be continued uninterrupted, for the time being, in the central Shrines while the work of reconstruction goes on with the prakaram shrines, Thirumathil (inner boundary wall) and Rajagopuram. The erection of new Eeshvara and Ambal shrines and their respective Artha Mandapams are due to be taken up shortly and constructed “entirely in dressed granite stones." When these are completed Phase I of the constructions will be over. Phase II of the constructions will comprise the Outer (or Vahana) Weedi with the outer boundary wall with the necessary gopurams on all four sides including one of seven tiers at the eastern entrance. In the Eastern Courtyard of the Outer Weedi there will be the ' Utsava Mandapam ' (Vasantha Mandapam) and other attendant buildings. Outside the outer wall come the Ther (Car) Weedi, which will have a large open area in the east to accommodate a large concourse of devotees. The surrounding lands have been laid out with intersecting roads to provide for flower gardens, parks and groves, madams and chatirams, and residences for priests, devotees, and temple servants. A Vedapadasalai (school for religious studies) and retreats for Rishis have also not been forgotten.

These plans, which have been prepared with the best advice available in South India and Ceylon of religious divines, Kurukkals and temple architects, may not amount to much when compared with the glories of the past, but by Grace of Gouri Ambal Sametha, Thiruketheeswaranathar, will present the most complete and beautiful Siva Temple in Ceylon.
