Nainativu
Nainativu, also known as Nagadeepa, is a small but spiritually significant island located off the northern coast of Sri Lanka, near the Jaffna Peninsula. Revered by both Buddhists and Hindus, the island is home to two important religious sites: the Nagadeepa Purana Vihara, one of the holiest Buddhist temples in the country, and the Nagapooshani Amman Kovil, a prominent Hindu temple dedicated to the goddess Parvati. According to Buddhist tradition, Lord Buddha visited Nainativu to resolve a dispute between two Naga kings, making it one of the few places he is believed to have visited outside India. The island’s Hindu lore connects it to ancient serpent worship and Tamil devotional traditions.
