Analativu or Analaitheevu (Tamil: அனலைதீவு, Sinhala: අන්නලදූව) is a small island off the coast of minority Sri Lankan Tamil dominated Jaffna Peninsula in north Sri Lanka. It is divided into seven wards each corresponding to a major settlement. There are number of Hindu temples and a few churches on the island. As it has no causeway connection to the mainland, it is connected by a ferry service. [1][2]
