Seetha Amman Temple, Seetha Eliya, Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka

The Seetha Amman Temple is a Hindu temple located in Seetha Eliya village approximately 1 kilometre from Hakgala Botanical Garden and 5 kilometres from Nuwara Eliya.
Seetha Amman temple was built by Tamil estate labourers who came to the country in the 19th century.
This place is believed to be the site where Sita was held captive by the rakshasa king Ravana, and where she prayed daily for her husband Rama to come and rescue her in the Hindu epic, the Ramayana.
There is a stream by the side of the temple where that runs from the hill nearby and said to be formed for the needs of Sita Devi during her days at Ashoka Vatika.
It is also considered that Devi Sita had taken bathe in this stream.
On the rock face across the stream are circular depressions that are regarded to be the footprints of Hanuman.
