Painting depicting Portuguese soldiers destroying the wooden Hindu chariots and pushing them into the ocean during the Portuguese attack on the temple in the year 1620. The painting is displayed inside the museum at the historic Nainativu Nagapooshani Amman Hindu Temple (Nainativu Nagapooshani Amman Kovil) on Nainativu Island in the Jaffna region of Sri Lanka. This ancient temple is a significant symbol for the Tamil people and is dedicated to Parvati who is known as Nagapooshani or Bhuvaneswari and her consort, Shiva who is named here as Nayinaar.
