The history of Ramayana
As taught in most schools throughout India and Sri Lanka of the epic love story that had been related over from generation to generation. In the poem accredited to the great Indian poet Valmiki, describes the battles, journeys, and victories made by Rama, the Indian prince in search of his abducted princess Seetha, who was brought to Sri Lanka by the demon King Ravana. Based upon this thrilling legend Ranfer Travels (Pvt) Limited has adapted the Sri Lanka Ramayana Tour.
The legend starts in Ayodhya in India and brings together a perfect blending of the South India landscape coupling its steeped history, cultural bonds and ancient spirituality ending its final battle in ancient Lanka. The reality of the tale is a myth, but, the legend is so great that it wraps India’s main annual festival Dewali around it. Since remains of sites and localities – places related to Ramayana described in the legend are so tangible. Historians for years have map the journey and helped identify possible locations described in the poem. Many of the sites are scattered around Sri Lanka today and have fairly accurate references to their credit.
These sites have been identified in relation to some of the main events that have been described in the epic tale from the place where Seetha Devi was held captive, to the location where Prince Rama defeated the demon King Ravana, the ruler of Lankapura. What’s amazing is that no one knows for sure if the epic is real or a myth, but, even today locals in that region Ramayan sites are well known, and the connection between their village and epic tale is so real to them that they will proudly talk about the historic details and facts as they as actual, the way it has passed-down over the years. Naturally, the details of the descriptions may vary from villager to villager but the pride will be shared amongst all.
Many of the locations identified will still have remnants of what locals and historians believed to have been left behind. For instance, many of the battlefields identified in the Ramayana still holds the blood stained red color soil surrounded by lighter colored soil. Herbs endemic to the Himalayan mountain range found scattered at locations believed to be the sites where soil fell when Hanuman was carried the Himalayan Mountain that contained medicinal herbs to treat and cure Seetha.
