A Ramayana landscape
Where the Ramayana was lived
Ashramkolli in Pulpally, Wayanad, carries one of the most tender chapters of the Ramayana. Thasmai Valmiki Ashram stands on this land to honour that legacy.
Ma Sita's refuge
Here Ma Sita resided during her pregnancy, under the protection of the sage.
Birth of Lava and Kusha
The birthplace of Lava and Kusha, and the place where the Ashwamedha horse was tied.
Return to the Earth
And finally, the place where Ma Sita returned to the Earth.
If Shri Rama is to be truly present in Ayodhya, we should honour and install Ma Sita also.
