RAMA TEMPLE AT RATTATA

The Rama temple is the only one in this area. Rattota is located about 9.5 Km from Matale in the central province of Srilanka. The privately managed temple can be accesed on Matale-Rattota-Riverston-Pallegama route. This is one of the most scenic routes to travel from matale to Laggala (on the northern side of Knuckles).

Ravanagoda is where Sita stayed during her transit. This area is linked with tunnels & caves, which runs through to other parts of Ravana’s kingdom. Ravanagoda is situated in the Kotmala area opposite to Ramboda rock. The main cave entrance was closed by an earth-slip in 1947. Locals believe this part of the complex was used as a prison by Ravana. The cave complex has not been fully explored.
