The Kidnapping of Sita by Ravana.

Ravana was the king of Lanka and another 9 kingdoms. He was known as Dasis (or Dasa Shirsha) meaning 10 heads, because he

had ten crowns, one each for his ten kingdoms.

His sister Surpanakha went to Jambudweepa for some business.
Surpanakha chanced upon Rama at his hermitage and became enamored with the handsome prince.

Rama being faithful to his wife Sita did not respond and asked Surpanakha to approach Lakshmana who was unmarried.
Surpanakha who felt humiliated by this, tried to attack Sita in anger saying Sita was the cause of the men's contempt for her.
Lakshmana then intervened and cut off Surpanakha's nose.

Surpanakha terrified and in pain, flew at once to Lanka to seek the protection of Ravana.


When Ravana asked his sister for the cause, Surpanakha said that she had seen Sita, a lady of incomparable beauty, and wanted to bring her for Ravana.

Ravana resolved to take revenge for the insult his sister has suffered, as well as to get lovely Sita for him self; and set out to abduct Sita and bring her to Lanka.

Ravana using a golden deer as a decoy visited Sita when she was alone in the guise of an old sage, abducted and brought her to Weragantota in Lanka in his plane, the Pushpaka Vimana.

Weragantota means the Place of Aircraft landing in Sinhala. This is the first place Sita Devi was brought to Lankapura (capita city of king Ravana).


The place Sita was held captive is called Sita Kotuwa; which means Sita's Fort in Sinhala. It is believed Ravana had an aircraft repair centre at Gurulupotha close to Sita Kotuwa. Gurulupothameans Parts of Birds in Sinhala.

Sita taken from Sita Kotuwa to Ashok Vatika

Ravana moved Sita from Sita Kotuwa to Ashok Vatika the salubrious garden in the mountains. The route too was said to be spectacularly beautiful, as Ravana wanted to show Sita the beauty of his kingdom.
The Chariot Path atop the mountain range is still visible. The Sita Tear Pond close to the Chariot Path is believed to have been formed by Sita Devi's tears. Visitors could also see the famed Sita Flowers which are endemic to this area.

Seetha kotuwa

Sitadevi was kept in queen Mandothari's palace until she was moved to Sita Kotua and then on to Ashoka Vatika. The remains that are found are the remnants of later civilizations. This place is now called Sita Kotuwa which means Sita's Fort and got its name because of Sitadevi's stay here.

Chariot Path and Sita Tear Pond

THIS is ths path through which RAVAN took SITAJI on his chariot !!!
