Selliah Parameshwaram Kurukkal (Tamil: செல்லைய்யா பரமேஸ்வர குருக்கள்; died February 7, 2007) was the Chief Pujari of the Santhiveli Pilleyar Kovil.[1] He became famous after blessing Mahinda Rajapakse, Prime Minister of Sri Lanka. He was murdered four days afterwards. According to the Sri Lankan Army, he was killed by the LTTE.[2] The LTTE contends that Kurukkal was murdered by Sri Lankan paramilitary forces.[3]
