Pallai (Tamil: பளை, Sinhala: පල්ලෙයි), also spelt Palai, is a small town in the Kilinochchi District, Northern Province, Sri Lanka.[1] The town is located under the division of the Pachilaipally Divisional Secretary and is administered by the Pachilaipally Pradeshiya Sabha.
It is located near the coast on the northern peninsula,[2] approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) south-east of Jaffna.
In 1861 the Church Mission Society sent Rev. John Backus to Pallai to establish a Christian community in the town. This led to the construction and dedication of St. Andrew's Church on 30 November 1895.
In 1921 the government declared a 4.25 square kilometres (2 sq mi) area adjacent to the town as a forest reserve.[3]
