Sitha Eliya and Sitha Amman Kovil/temple
Sita Amman Temple is located about 1km away from the Hakgala Gardens. According to legend the temple is believed to mark the
spot where Sita, was held captive by her abductor, King Ravana. Though an average visitor might feel that the location and its
surrounded green land has nothing much to offer, archeologists have discovered giant foot steps – believed to be of “Hanuman” and
more ruins to look around. This temple/kovil is dedicated to “Seetha” the captive princess for her love, believe, faith, determination,
honesty and loyalty towards Prince “Rama”. A believer, can still hear the silent mourns of Prince Seetha with a closer eavesdrop to the
free flow of the water stream which flows next to the temple. The crystal water stream which flows next to the temple is believed to
be where ‘Sitha’ bathe. Still worshippers do believe that the water at one point of the stream is ‘taste-less’ where prince ‘Sitha’ had
cursed ‘Demon King Ravana’ on her captivity. The epic continue with an undiscovered tale of an underground tunnel network even
below water levels in this area.
There is also a shrine to worship lord Hanuman with in the kovil.
Hakgala Gardens
The Hakgala Botanical Gardens situated at the base of the Hakgala Peak south of Nuwara Eliya. Established in 1860, the garden is
famous for its roses, ferns, the orchid house and the summerhouse. The rock of Hakgala rises 450 m above the gardens.
The ‘Rama-Sitha’ epic also raises very concrete evidence that “Sitha” while in Ravana’s” custody has often used this garden to spend
most of her leisure time while longing for her husband and home. “Hanuman” the official spy of the king Rama had also seen Sitha for
the first time in this garden area.
According to the local believing, this garden have been the “Sitha” longing
