About Jaffna Obelisk Lighthouse
The Jaffna Obelisk is a white concrete tower standing 6 meters tall. It emits a single white flash every 15 seconds from a focal height of 6 meters, with a geographic range of 8.9 nautical miles. This structure marks the narrow entrance channel leading to the harbor of Jaffna. The site is accessible by boat, but the tower itself is closed to the public. Its nearest port, Jaffna, is located 2.6 kilometers away.
Why it matters: The Jaffna Obelisk assists fishing vessels navigating the constricted entrance to Jaffna's harbor, ensuring safe passage for local maritime traffic.
