Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

As a tour guide with extensive experience in showcasing Sri Lanka’s rich cultural heritage, the Munneswaram Temple in Chilaw is a destination I always recommend for those interested in spirituality, history, and architecture. This ancient temple complex, dedicated primarily to Lord Shiva, is one of the country’s oldest Hindu temples and a significant pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Buddhists.
Historical and Cultural Significance
Dating back over 1,000 years, Munneswaram Temple is believed to have been established during the time of the Chola dynasty. Legend has it that Lord Rama prayed here after his battle with Ravana, seeking to absolve himself of the sins of war, which makes it a crucial part of the Ramayana trail in Sri Lanka. For many tourists, learning about this connection between the Indian epic and Sri Lanka is both surprising and fascinating.
The temple complex houses five shrines, with the largest and most prominent being dedicated to Lord Shiva. The other shrines are devoted to gods such as Ganesha, Kali, and Ayyanar, offering visitors a deep insight into Hindu religious practices. The annual Munneswaram festival, which features elaborate processions, draws pilgrims and tourists from all over the country, and it's an excellent time for visitors to witness vibrant Hindu rituals.

On our way from a holiday in a Chilaw Hotel we stopped by there! As a child/teenager I have been there with my parent since then and after moved to Europe I never visited it! When I saw it 1st time after so many years, I couldn’t even recognize is this the place I seen during my childhood! Though it is not a very special or modified since then still something there are new, may be new buildings! But, my husband being an ethnic Dane for him it is something new!
One thing is for sure i.e. this Temple is very old temple!

We organised my 7 year old's birthday party at the "ground floor restaurant- 57" in Jetwing Colombo 7 recently and were very very impressed with the quality of service and delivery. Everything was great- the food, cleanliness, the ability of the staff to handle special requests in the last minute, the ability of the staff to work with other vendors incl. those who brought the decor, other party furniture, cake etc. independently, their hospitality and thoughtfulness in dealing with kids and guests and much more. Highly recommend this venue for kids birthday parties. All my guests loved the party and many have already asked for the contact of the place to host their own parties here.
Kudos to the fearless leader Siva who deserves a special mention for his leadership, customer focus and action bias and to his full team- Arjuna, Nihan, Aravinth and all the crew of the Restaurant! Thank you so much team!

A famous religious site and temple complex in Chilaw with shrines to Shiva, Kali, Aiyanna, and Ganesha. The Munneswaram Kovil is very much worth at least a half day visit along with the fabulous but less ancient Murugan Kovil just outside Chilaw. Be aware of touts attempting to direct you to puja stalls when you arrive by car. They are very likely on commission and we purchased exactly the same puja items for half the price (1000 not 2000! lkr) just outside the main roadside entrance and next to the Ganesha shrine.
Interestingly, the Kali shrine also contains a famous area for making curses... A very small fenced/gated area for placing the curse whilst breaking a coconut.

Wir waren die einzigen Touristen dort - ein ziemlich bunter Hindutemple – gegenüber am Straßenstand wollten wir Obst kaufen, da hieß es dann dieses Obst sei nicht zum Essen sondern für Buddha (? Hindutemple?)

Hello,
Most of the temples in Sri Lanka have an early morning puja starts about 0700 hours and the temple is opened till the evening. For me I left Colombo early enough to go to all the three temples and see mid day puja. If you are staying near the are you can check at the temple for local opening times or best is to plan to be there for 1030.
