Maaveerar Naal held at all Thuyilum Illams in Mullaitivu

Commemoration at Vannivilankulam

Maaveerar Naal was commemorated at all four Thuyilum Illams in Mullaitivu: Alampil, Aalankulam, Mulliyavalai and Vannivilankulam.

Thousands of Tamils across Mullaitivu went to their local thuyilum illams for traditional commemorations, with the families of Maaveerar setting up photographs and tributes of their fallen loved ones.

The events included the tolling of bells at 18.05, the lighting of the flame of sacrifice and the playing of the Thuyilum Illam song.

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
