Where information has been derived from other sources I confirm that this has been indicated the thesis. ABSTRACT Following twenty-five years of civil war between the Sri Lankan government troops and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a ceasefire was called in February 2002. This truce is now on the point of collapse, due to a break down in talks over the post-war administration of the northern and eastern provinces. These instabilities have lead to conflicts within the insurgent ranks as well as political and religious factions in the south. This thesis centres on how the anguish of war and its unresolved aftermath is being communicated among Tamils living in the northern reaches of Sri Lanka.

Preface: Tirth Yatras or pilgrimages have been an integral part of Hinduism. Pilgrimages are considered quite important by the ritualistic followers of Sanathana dharma. There are a few centers of sacredness, which are held at high esteem by the ardent devotees who dream to travel and worship God in these holy places. All these holy sites have some mythological significance attached to them. When people go to a temple, they say they go for Darsan – of the image of the presiding deity. The pinnacle act of Hindu worship is to stand in the presence of the deity and to look upon the image so as to see and be seen by the deity and to gain the blessings. There are thousands of Siva sthalams- pilgrimage sites - renowned for their divine images. And it is for the Darsan of these divine images as well the pilgrimage places themselves - which are believed to be the natural places where Gods have dwelled - the pilgrimage is made.

  • Arupadai Veedu
    Arupadai Veedu Arupadai Veedu - The Six Abodes of Lord Muruga The Lord is known by different names such as Karthikeya, Skanda, Vadivela and Muruga at various temples. These six temples are situated in Tamil Nadu. These most sacred abodes of Lord Muruga is mentioned in Tamil divine literature, "Thirumurugatrupadai", written by Poet Nakkeerar and in "Thirupugal", written by Saint-poet Arunagirinathar. The six abodes are: Thirupparankunram Thiruchendur Palani Swamimalai Thiruthani and Pazhamudircholai. �� Om Saravanabhavaya namaha�� Arupadai Veedu - 1 of 6 Tirupparankundram is a hill at 8kms southwest of Madurai, Tamilnadu. A cave temple mentioned in various classical Tamil texts as the 'Southern Himalaya' where the gods assemble, Tirupparankunram is also mentioned in legend as 'the place where the sun and moon abide'. Long ago the two daughters of Lord Vishnu, Amrita Valli and Sundara Valli, cherished the desire of becoming the consorts of Lord Subrahmanya. With this aim in mind they both went to Saravana Poigai (pool in Himalayas) and commenced austere penance to fulfil their desires. Pleased with their prayer and worship, Lord Subrahmanya appeared before them and told Amrita Valli, "You will be brought up by Indra as his daughter and I shall marry you in due course."
