This is his step just before meeting Sita maa, the moment when devotion turned into reassurance. When you stand there, you’re not standing in a footprint. You’re standing in the moment where divine grace arrived.

Since childhood hearing stories of Ramayana, it's always intriguing to visit this place where Sita was. Held captive by ravana and it has been constructed into a beautiful Sita temple. It has a ₹,100 entry and beautiful idols with the priest explaining and blessing. The visitors also makes it a very, very divine experience. We were able to see the whole temple. And also visit the footprint beside the flowing river stream, where Hanuman GIS expected to have helped Sita to escape. There is a beautiful meditation hall for people visiting this shrine. A very different experience to at least see a part of history that has lived with you. Till this day. Witnessed with everything being told to you very systematically

One of the most important part of our Sri Lanka trip, part of our cultural heritage. It was relaxing, the entrance was 500 LKR per person and they do Pooja on your behalf. They also give lunch as well which is very tasty food.
