The sacred story
The Ramayana recounts Hanuman’s journey to Lanka, his meeting with Sita, the ensuing campaign against Ravana and Rama’s reunion with Sita. Lanka is the setting of the final conflict in the epic, with diverse interpretations across textual and regional traditions.
Deity and form of worship
Shri Ram, Mata Sita and Hanuman
Spiritual significance
The narrative explores devotion, moral choices, courage and the defeat of wrongdoing. Proposed correspondences between epic Lanka and modern Sri Lankan sites are religious and regional associations rather than independently established identifications.
Planning your visit
For any Sri Lanka pilgrimage, research current travel requirements and locally documented shrines separately. Do not assume a modern landmark is a proven epic-era location. No unverified temple record is linked here.
Scriptural narratives and local devotional associations are presented as traditions, not independently verified archaeological events. Temple timings and visiting arrangements may change.
