The original Nallur Kovil was built in 948, and some development work was completed in the 13th century. The Portuguese occupied this area and completely demolished Kobir in 1621. After reconstruction, people still have awe. Outside the temple there are small shops selling souvenirs, daily necessities and other rituals.

Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil or Nallur Murugan Kovil (kovil is a Tamil temple) is one of the most important Hindu temples in the Jaffna district of Sri Lanka. It is in the town of Nallur.
