See this and en. Westerns say it as hypothetical because it's not in accordance with continental drift theory. BTW, i am not sure about veracity of above theory and picture. AnilKumar: If that lost land can be located as Dwaraka of Sri Krishna was located, then we can think of it. You may be right. I have had similar questions. There is a small book authored by Sampath Iyengar and Seshagiri, titled "From Kishkinda to Lanka" that provides interesting perspectives based on Astronomy. They speculate the Lanka mentioned in The Ramayana might be somewhere off the coast of Madagaskar.

They also show map with calculations arguing that the modern Lanka was not separated from the Indian landmass at the time of Ramayana. Interesting theories, hard to prove though. I lost that book, and still trying to find a copy. This is the book. Please let me know if you ever get hold of a copy. Show 4 more comments.

Nilawari is a famous village in Jaffna, with a pilgrim site that attracts thousands of locals and tourists each year.

According to the folklore, the underground well of unknown depth is a well lord Rama created when his army faced a water crisis during the war against king Ravana.

Located in Mathale Laggala is a rural village with natural beauty and historical value. King Ravana had meditated and prayed to Lord Shiva at Thiru Koneshwaran from the Laggala rock, as the rock was the highest peak of his Kingdom.

Located in Laggala, Dunuvila lake believed to be the place where Lord Rama killed king Ravana by a single combat. As the folklore goes lord Rama had fired the Brahmaastharam at King Ravana from the lake you can still see in Dunuvila. The place located along the Mahiyanganaya — Wasgamuwa road is ideal for a hike and offers you amazing views of the surrounding. The village also contains Sita Gooli which are rice balls offered by Ravana to Sita; which she refused and threw away.

When King Ravana carried Sita devi on his chariot to Ashoka Vatika, he provided her with vitaminized rice balls for refreshment. But Sita devi who did not want to consume anything provided by King Ravana, scattered the rice balls all over the place during her journey, and they are found till date along the chariot track.

The local people call these rice balls Sita Gooli and they prescribe them for their children as a cure for stomach disorders and headaches. The farmers too keep them in their cash boxes or grain pots for prosperity. It is claimed that carbon dated testing has been done in Tokyo and Delhi on these rice balls and ascertained them to be more than five thousand years old. Konda Kattu Gala refers to the many intruding tunnels and caves in this area.

Sita devi took bath in this very stream and had dried her hair sitting on a rock and put clips to her hair, hence this rock is known as Konda Kattu Gala. This is situated in the Welimada Area. This tunnel network proves beyond doubt the architectural brilliance of King Ravana. These tunnels served as a quick means of transport through the hills and also as a secret passage and networked all the important cities, airports and dairy farms.

A close look at these tunnels indicates that they are man-made and not natural formations. Some have also said that Ravana had a tunnel that went all the way to South America, in which he had stored much of his gold and treasury. Neelawari is located in the North of the country in the Jaffna peninsula and is where Lord Rama shot an arrow to the ground to obtain water for his army upon arriving at Lanka.

During the height of the battle Indrajit, elder son of Ravana beheaded a lookalike of Sita Devi in front of Hanuman to break his spirit. This place is known as Sitawaka in the Avissawella area. Yudhaganawa , meaning battlefield in Sinhala, is a place in Wasgamuwa where the major battles took place. To cure them, Jambavan the veteran monkey instructed Hanuman to go to Sanjeevani Parvatha , the hill of herbs between Rishhaba and Kilasa peaks in the Himalayas and bring the necessary medicinal herbs.

As he could not identify which herbs to select, Hanuman uprooted the entire peak with all the herbs growing there from the mountain and returned to Lanka. This was at Kataragama , which is now a very popular place for worship among Sri Lankans. Dunuvila lake is a place from which Lord Rama fired the Brahmastra arrow at king Ravana who was directing the war from Laggala. The top of Laggala is flat and is believed to have been affected by the power of the brahmastharam.

The cartels behind the Dunuvila lake are called Laggala. King Ravana is believed to have done meditation on this rock and prayed to Lord Shiva at Thiru Koneshwaran from this point. This is situated along the Mahiyanganaya - Wasgamuwa road. Geographically this rock is visible from miles away on its 3 sides. Sita met Rama after the war, and Divurumpola is the place she under went the "Agni" test of fire where she proved her innocence and purity to Rama.

Divurumpola means the "Place of Oath" in Sinhala. She came out unscathed and proved her innocence and purity. After a bath and adorned with jewels she was taken on a palanquin before Rama.

Meeting her husband after such a long time she was overcome with emotion, but Rama seemed lost in thought. At length he spoke, "I have killed my enemy. I have done my duty as a true king. It is not proper I take you back now. Sita was shocked. Have you forgotten the noble family I come from?

Is it my fault Ravana carried me off by force? All the time, my mind, my heart, and soul were fixed on you alone, my lord!
