概述

穆鲁坎迪 (Murikandy) Pillaiyar Kovil 是一座小而著名的印度教寺庙，位于基利诺奇以南的 A9 高速公路旁，供奉排除障碍者皮莱亚尔勋爵 (Ganesha)。世世代代以来，几乎每一位前往贾夫纳路上的旅行者都会在这里停下来祈祷，并敲碎椰子，祈求旅途安全、幸运，这座神殿的名字来源于泰米尔语，意为“休息”。色彩鲜艳，路过的信徒不断忙碌，这里是泰米尔路边虔诚信仰的温暖而生动的一部分。

历史

The shrine is traditionally said to have been built in 1880 by a local devotee, Kathiresar Vaithiyalingam. Local legend tells of a holy man buried near the spot who, in gratitude, revealed a source of water to thirsty workers, who then raised a shrine here that has been venerated ever since as a place of protection for travellers.
