Perched dramatically on the top of Swami Rock with an over-look of the Indian Ocean, Koneswaram Temple is one of Sri Lanka's most revered Hindu temples. The temple compound is full of colorful statues, shrines, and ancient carvings of Lord Shiva. The cliff-top also provides breathtaking views, where the blue ocean appears to stretch endlessly. The temple is full of legends and history and therefore turns out to be both cultural and spiritual experience in Trincomalee.
