How we checked
Last checked October 20, 2026 against nallurkandaswamydevasthanam.org. Before anything appears here, a separate check fetches each source again and confirms that every date we show is in the quoted text.
Notes from the last check
The temple's official website (nallurkandaswamydevasthanam.org) was fetched and confirms the temple, its Jaffna address and that it is operating, but no official page states the festival dates, so the edition is recorded as tba with no dates; third-party sources give 16 August to 12 September 2026 but disagree on the chariot day and cannot support dates.
