131***77:“Mannar is a northern city in the Northern Province of Sri Lanka, adjacent to Jaffna and across the sea from India, about 20 nautical miles away. There is also a Chinese cannery on the island of Mannar. Most of the people here are Tamils ​​who migrated from India in the early years. These Tamils ​​are simple and hospitable. After 20 years of war (LTTE), they are now in a state of recuperation. However, the Sinhalese in the south still look down on the Tamils ​​because of the civil war. There are many Tamil temples here, and the beliefs include Hinduism, Christianity, Catholicism, etc. I have attached some pictures of Tamil temples from 400 years ago. If you have time, come and have a look and experience the South Asian style”
