The city of Jaffna happens to be the administrative headquarters of the Jaffna district. At the same time, it serves as the capital city of the Northern Province of Sri Lanka. It is located on the Jaffna Peninsula and is an integral part of Sri Lankan political history. The city has a past that accommodates colonial influence of the Portuguese, the Dutch and finally, the British.
The best time to be in this city is during the festival season. The major festivals are Nallur Kovil Thaer Thiruvizha (Chariot Festival), Thai-Pongal (harvest festival) and Theepavali.
