Thambiluvil
Thambiluvil ((タミル語:தம்பிலுவில்)) is a coastal village in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka. It is 78 Km south of Batticaloa along the east coast. It is bounded by the sea in east and a lagoon named "Periya Kalappu" to west with paddy fields which increase the natural attraction of this village. Thambiluvil is the famous place for the old Tamil culture and traditions of ancient Mattakkalappu Desam.
==Etymology==
The collection of tales of Batticaloa villages - "Mattakkalappu Purva Sarithiram" mentions that Megavarnan, the son of Chola princess "Thambathi Nallaal" and Kalinga prince "Puvaneya Gajabahu" renovated Thirukkovil Sithira Velayutha Swami Kovil and constructed a small tank in the memory of her mother and named it as "Thambathi-Vil" 〔F.X.C.Nadaraja, Mattakkalappu Manmiyam, 1998, p.30〕 (literally Pond of Thambathi). It is believed that "Thambathivil" disintegrated to "Thambiluvil" later. A small pond called as "Raman Kulam" east to Thenral Road is identified as Thambathivil now.
Another etymology suggests that Thambiluvil derived from "Thambal+Vil" (தம்பல்+வில்) which means "sludge puddle + Pond" gave the name to this village.〔Vellavur Kopal (2006) "Kizhakkilangai Thamizhakam" p.46〕 Dutch maps of Ceylon and quotes of elders indicate that former Thambiluvil village spread south to Kolavil and north to Thandiyady and it seems to include a vast water source used to Paddy cultivation and the latter etymology also can be considered as suitable one.
