Ramayana Holiday Package

Highlights:· Ussangoda· Kirinda· Kataragama Evening Ceremony.
On arrival in Sri Lanka, you will be warmly greeted by our chauffeur guide who will transfer you to the Kataragama. Kataragama in Sri Lanka is the name of God and is linked to the Ramayana Trail legend. Lord Indra is said to have given him orders to join the battle on the last day of the war to protect Lord Rama from the powerful wrath of Lanka’s demon king Ravana. The Ramayana Trail legend tells that Seetha was kept captive here for nearly one year. Ravana’s administrative capital was Ravana Kotte. This is identified as the Basses reefs Southeast of Kirinda. Though the palace is sunk in the sea, some parts of it are said to be seen sometimes during low tides. After meeting Sitadevi, Lord Hanuman provoked the mighty King Ravana and his army of Rakshasas. It resulted in Lord Hanuman’s tail being set on fire by Rakshasas. Hanuman, in turn, went on to torch parts of King Ravana’s empire with his burning tail. Ussangoda is said to be one of these burnt areas. Besides the Ramayana Trail legend has it that earlier on the Ussangoda plateau was used as an airport by King Ravana for his Dandu Monara peacock chariot, before Hanuman devastated the landing site.
