The prominent towers, called Gopurams, boast hundreds of detailed sculptures, in a rich mosaic of colour. These Gopurams structures can be seen in other Hindu temples across the island, as well as in Southern India. Dedicated to the Hindu goddess of Mariamman, the ‘muthu’ prefix translates as ‘pearl’ and indicates the goddess’s original association with fertility, but today Mariamman is the deity celebrated as the protector of diseases such as smallpox and the bringer of rains. The Muthumariamman Temple was originally built in 1852 by Thiyagaraja Chettiar. It was damaged in the early 1980s but it has since been fully repaired and is a splendid and must see sight when travelling within the Cultural Triangle. Theru Festival of Arulmigu Sri Muthumari Amman Kovil, Matale. ARULMIGU Sri Muthumari Amman Hindu Kovil situated about a kilometre to the far north end of Matale town celebrated the annual 'Theru' festival this year on March 12 - Madin Full Moon Poya Day. This kovil was established about 200 years ago by the Hindu community specially the South Indian traders who did business around Matale town and tea estates. The history of this kovil records that a cute little child was seen at the present premises of this kovil and on the following day, a beautiful dress was found in the premises which the cute little child wore. On the same day, at night Goddess Pattini had appeared in a dream of one Nallamuttu, and the Goddess Pattini had told Nallamuttu the child who was seen at the premises was Goddess Pattini and had requested Nallamuttu to make this premises a holy place for Hindus. Since then this place became a Hindu kovil. In the month of March the annual 'Theru' festival is held to evoke the blessings of gods and specially Goddess Pattini. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Follow Us On: ✔️ Facebook:   / 1h1eswqmph   ✔️ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thepola12.4?_... ✔️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tharindu_ud... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Watch More: පේරාදෙණිය විශ්වවිද්‍යාලය වටේ රවුමක් | University of Peradeniya Campus Tour    • පේරාදෙණිය විශ්වවිද්‍යාලය වටේ රවුමක් | Univ...   සදගලතැන්නෙන් ශ්‍රී පාදයට | Sadagalathenna to Sri Padaya | Adam's Peak | Sri Pada Vlog    • සදගලතැන්නෙන් ශ්‍රී පාදයට | Sadagalathenna ...
