Selvasanniti Murukan Temple is situated in Thondaimannaru in the Vadamaradchy division in the district of Jaffina in the North-Eastern province of Illankai (which is the Tamil name for Sri Lanka). In view of its location the circle of devotees of Sannittiyan is largely from the villages in the Vadamardchy and from other places, closer to Thondaimannaru - like Achchuvely. When presenting this paper with humility, the writer takes pleasure to be identified as one of such devotees hailing from Karanavai - one of the villages in Vadamaradchy.
