Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka
Seetha Amman Temple sits in the hill country near Nuwara Eliya, at a site local tradition associates with events from the Ramayana, drawing pilgrims interested in the epic's Sri Lankan geography.
The temple is associated by local tradition with Sita's captivity as told in the Ramayana, making it a site of particular interest to pilgrims tracing Ramayana-linked locations across Sri Lanka.
The temple in its current form is a more recent construction, though the site's association with the Ramayana narrative draws on much older local tradition and storytelling.
December to March offers the most comfortable hill-country weather for visiting.
