Kondavil brings back a wholesome and cherishing childhood memories
“The Sun does not forget a village just because it is small”~ African Proverb
Kondavil is a small village in Jaffna Peninsula. Adjoining village is called Kokkuvil. “Yazh Devi”-Colombo- Jaffna train used to stop at Kondavil station. Most of the travellers stop by the Ambaal temple and get her blessingsbefore the long journey.
The Kondavil Ambaal Temple is one of my Dad's favourite Goddess temples in Sri Lanka. He never failed to worship at the Ambaal temple in Kondavil before the long train journey. This particular temple which is right behind the Kondavil railway station is a Yazh Devi traveller’s transit before boarding the train. The recent visit brings back a wholesome and cherishing childhood memories of Kondavil railway station, station master’s whistle and tablet, platform, relatives to receive and send off with Jak fruit, Mangoes, Drumstick, Raasavalli Kizhangu (King Yam) and delicious Banana leaf wrapped vegetarian meals for the journey and the whole Yazh Devi journey and Ambaal temple.
