Velakkai Pillaiyar Temple

Manipay Velakkai Pillaiyar Temple is a temple in the town of Manipay, Jaffna, Sri Lanka devoted to the Hindu deity, Murugan. The temple was built by Gate Mudaliyar Sivakolundu of Manipay and has been kept in the hands of his descendants to this day. Revenue for the temple is relatively low as compared to other temples on the island considering its location in a relatively unpopulated area; consequently, its upkeep and festivities is mainly paid for by the trustees of the temple and their family members, all of whom are descendants of Mudaliyar Sivakolundu.

gollark: Truly this is ancient technology.
gollark: Apparently the designers of this laptop were going for "kind of user-servicable but not really", so does anyone have any idea how I can replace this HDD? I couldn't find anything on YouTube and the manufacturer seems to be missing repair manuals.
gollark: Anyone know how to scroll the server list up and down in the web version of Discord on a laptop?
gollark: There's an AWS Glacier deep archive tier now, which is cheaper, I think.
gollark: I only have maybe 20GB of data I actually care about, but because it's mixed in with all the stuff I don't and because I'm lazy I have basically no backups. One day I'll fix that. One day.
