Seeta Amman Kovil

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

With its mythological significance, visiting Seetha Temple is an experience in itself, located about 5 km from Gregory Lake. We viaited thia temple on 25th October 2025, co incidently on a saturday. Nestled beside a beautiful river stream, the temple features the footprint of Hanumanji, leaving one in awe of his immense size. There is a small entry fee for foreigners, which felt unusual, as temples generally do not charge an entry fee. Make sure to cover your knees and shoulders out of respect for the temple premises.

Such a calm and beautiful temple with a rich history connected to the Ramayana. The surroundings are stunning, and the sound of the nearby stream makes it even more peaceful. The place is well maintained and perfect for anyone who loves culture, history, and nature.

When I got to know that a drive for 10 mins will reach me to the place where Hanuman ji landed in order to reach to Sita Maiya for her protection, I knew I had to go. This is the temple with his footsteps. We had to pay 100/- LKR each for entry and photography wasn't allowed but I took permission and took a few. It was surreal! Being in Sri Lanka and having so much in common about our mythology and history is simply stunning. Even though this is referred to as the land of Lanka, for Ravana, I felt very connected and happy. We gave our ticket for aarti and received blessings align with some kumkum that I took back home. I'm truly grateful to have checked of this visit was possible and feel honoured to have been there physically.

We have visited in the month October. Place called Ashoka vatika and the area is nuwara eliya. Too cold place please prepare and go. Very divine feeling, I'm a big fan of anjaneya hence for me place was everything. You feel the vibes and beautiful story behind it
