INDIAN---"The Life and Times of R Namasivayam" and his contribution of the restoration of Tirukketisvaram serves perhaps to fill an unforgettable chapter in the commitment to and retention of a Hindu tradition. The book edited by Prof. S. Pathmanathan, Professor Emeritus, University of Peradeniya, and published by the Namasivayam family will be launched on April 25 at the Saraswathi Hall, Bambalapitiya at 5.30 pm. Hindu lore states that in ancient Sri Lanka there were five sacred Hindu temples dedicated to Siva. They were Munnesvaram, Kataragama, Kailayanatar Kovil in Nallur, Tirukketisvaram in Mantota and Tirukkonesvaram in Trincomalee. [link]
