Murikandy Pillayaar, A9 Highway, Sri Lanka.
Murikandy is a near halfway point between Jaffna and Kandy. Hence it got its Tamil name (Muri-break, Kandy-Kandy). 'Pillayaar' the God who removes obstacles. He is also called 'Vikkinarasa' in Tamil meaning 'King (supervising) over obstructions'. A temple dedicated to 'Pillayaar' is situated here. Travellers stop and pay pooja at this temple breaking a coconut to propitate 'Pillayaar' who would help to remove all obstacles to ones travel. I took this video of a 'poosai' at this temple.
