斯瓦米岩石上一座引人注目的悬崖顶印度教寺庙，供奉湿婆神，位于亭可马里岬角的顶端，高出大海。

概述

科内斯瓦拉姆 (Koneswaram) 是斯里兰卡最神圣、位置最壮观的印度教寺庙之一，矗立在斯瓦米岩 (Swami Rock) 上，海角直插印度洋。朝圣者来到色彩鲜艳的戈普拉姆、雕像和海景中崇拜湿婆神科尼萨尔。被称为“情人之跃”的悬崖边缘提供了令人眼花缭乱的海湾全景，驱车穿过弗雷德里克堡，经过正在吃草的野鹿即可到达寺庙。

历史

An ancient shrine revered as one of the Pancha Ishwarams of Shiva, the medieval temple complex was destroyed by the Portuguese in 1624, who used its stones to build the fort on the headland. The present temple was rebuilt in the 20th century, and a bronze Shiva idol recovered from the sea now stands within it.
