Munneswaram Temple
The Munneswaram Kovil close to Chilaw is one of the 5 major Shiva temples of Sri Lanka and
Rameswaram islands. They are called Ishvarams. According to a Tamil legend, the temple is
situated at a place where King Rama prayed to Shiva after committing the worst crime
according to Hindu Dharma, namely Brahmahasti, the killing of a priest, because Ravana who
had to be killed by Rama in order to liberate Sita, was of Brahmin caste. Rama stopped the
Vimana vehicle at Munneswaram because of his feeling that the Doshana sin was not following
him at this place. So, he ascended from the vimana and prayed to God Shiva asking for a
remedy. Shiva advised Rama to install four lingams at Manavari, Trinco, Mannar and
Rameswaram for this purpose.
Manavari Temple
Manavari, about 6 kms north of Chilaw, is the first place where Lord Rama installed a Lingam,
as a remedy to Lord Shiva after committing Brahmincide by killing the King Ravana who was a
Brahmin. This Shiva Lingam in Manavari is called Ramalingam because it was made by Lord
Rama. There are only two Lingams in the world named after Lord Rama, the other is in
Rameswaram in India.
