Sita Eliya: the Ashok Vatika claim
Popular
Hakgala Reserve, tied to the Vatika, is closed to visitors.
Sri Lanka places Ashok Vatika at Sita Eliya near Nuwara Eliya (the Sita Amman Temple, parts of Hakgala Gardens and Hakgala Reserve). Sita stayed here; Hanuman is believed to have burned much of it on finding her. A stream nearby is said to be where she bathed. Hanuman first met Sita here and gave her Rama's ring.
