  • Temple Etiquette: All visitors to Hindu temples must take off shoes and headgear. The wedding will be held in the outer hall of the temple. Please note that if you choose to enter the temple, Men are required to take off their shirt before entering and women are expected to cover your shoulders and legs if your dress doesn't so. No shorts allowed for both gender.

  • Dress Code: We are recoomending people wear simple sri lankan/indian traditional clothing (saree, kurtha, veshti etc). If that is not your calling, we suggest a casual dress code that emphasizes comfort but will meet the above temple etiquette. In other words don't pack your your suits, ties, heavy sarees or that little black dress...

* Jaffna Kool is also known as Odiyal Kool due to its defining ingredient - odiyal flour; odiyal being palmyrah in English. The two principal products of Jaffna, seafood and Palmyra come together in a dish that is at once simple yet sophisticated. A hearty and healthy dish that is almost rustic in its simplicity, kool derives its flavour from a mixture of seafood, including prawns, crab, cuttlefish and crayfish, that goes into a broth thickened with starchy palmyra flour, further flavoured with rice, long beans, jak fruit seeds, and murunga, or drumstick leaves.  Tamarind is added in the end give a slight sweet and sour tang that enhances the flavours. Given the sheer number of ingredients involved, kool is generally made in large portions and served as a leisurely Sunday meal.
