Seetha Amman Kovil
Seeta Amman Temple, Nuwara Eliya Overview
Seetha Amman Temple is one of the most-visited stops on Sri Lanka's Ramayana Trail, the pilgrimage circuit that draws large numbers of Indian travelers to the island. Built in the village of Seetha Eliya, about a kilometer from Hakgala Botanical Gardens, the temple marks the spot where Hindu tradition says Sita Devi was held captive by King Ravana. Inside the temple grounds are footprint-shaped impressions in rock, said to belong to Lord Hanuman, and the Seetha River, where devotees still bathe and pray.
The Seetha Amman Temple has idols of Lord Rama, Lakshman, Devi Sita, and Lord Hanuman. Since it is also the place where Lord Hanuman is known to have met Devi Sita to give her a message from Lord Rama, the temple premises also have a rock where you can see the footprints of Lord Hanuman. There is a river near the temple called the Seetha River, where Devi Sita prayed and bathed. It holds a lot of significance as a historical monument.
