Tenavaram temple (Tamil: தென்னாவரம் கோயில்) (historically known as the Tenavaram Kovil, Tevanthurai Kovil or Naga-Risa Nila Kovil) is a historic Hindu temple complex situated in the port town Tenavaram, Tevanthurai (or Dondra Head), Matara) near Galle, Southern Province, Sri Lanka. Its primary deity was a Hindu god Tenavarai Nayanar (Upulvan) and at its zenith was one of the most celebrated Hindu temple complexes of the island, containing eight major kovil shrines to a thousand deity statues of stone and bronze and two major shrines to Vishnu and Shiva. Administration and maintenance was conducted by residing Hindu Tamil merchants during Tenavaram's time as a popular pilgrimage destination and famed emporium employing over five hundred devadasis.

  • Der Tondeswaram-Tempel befindet sich an der südlichsten Spitze von Sri Lanka, am Dondra. Er gehört mit den -, -, - und Naguleswaram-Tempeln zu den fünf antiken Shiva-Tempeln in Sri Lanka. Der Tempel wurde 1998 ausgegraben und von Hindus wiederaufgebaut. Eigentlich ist dieses Gebiet rein singhalesisch-buddhistisch. Den Archäologen zufolge befindet sich an der ursprünglichen Stelle des Tempels jetzt ein buddhistischer Schrein. (de)
