Had Darshan on 19th February 2020 at 13.00pm During our Ramayana Trail tour of Sri Lanka, we had opportunity to visit this divine Temple on our way to Nuwara Eliya from Kandy. The Temple location is 1/2 km off-route to the main road and the climb can be interesting for young people. However due to paucity of time and as advise by our guide we took auto ( 3 people) SLR 400/- to and fro. The Temple approach has about 40-50 high stairs. So groups with senior citizens please be aware. The Temple and its surrounding maintained by Chinmaya Mission, India is serene clean and the beauty is abound. Just in time befor the Temple closure we offered puja as we carried prasad from India and the distributed them among the devotees. A grand statue of Bhagwan Hanuman takes centre stage in the sanctum of the temple. inside the temple there are deities of other God and Goddess. Spend some quality time there and watched the sleeping Hanuman hill from the Temple. Do visit this palace and seek blessings. The Temple complex houses a souvenir shop and a light refreshment place for coffee and package snacks. Photo options are breath-taking. Enjoy Jai Hanuman Ji

What else could a simple practising Hindu ask for? Upon arriving at the temple-we were pleasantly welcomed with a special HOMA(special prayers for blessings)- and much to my surprise I was handed the tray with the vastrams (clothes) for Lord Rama and Sita Mata -my little heart was jumping with joy with such a blessing!!! To add to my JOYOUS joy..I was also told that this was the exact place-river where Sita Mata had her bath while on waiting for Lord Rama to rescue her. It was indeed a holiday with a dash of spirituality, history and blessings--what more could I ask for and wish for. Thank you Sita Mata, thank you Lord Rama--for I was indeed blessed to have had the blessings of carrying your vashtrams before they were elegantly dressed on you both. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
