New Delhi, March 18
Sri Lanka on Thursday donated India a stone for the Ayodhya Ram Temple from the Sita Eliya temple, the historic place where Ravana is believed to have kept Sita.
The Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka shared the development on its official Twitter handle saying, “A stone from Sita Eliya in Sri Lanka for the Ram Temple in Ayodhya will be a pillar of strength for India-Sri Lanka ties. This stone was received at Mayurapathi Amman Temple by High Commissioner designate of Sri Lanka to India Milinda Moragoda in presence of the High Commissioner.”
The Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka said the gesture would celebrate multifarious commonalities between the countries and also encourage more tourism and exchanges between the two peoples.
The Sita Eliya Temple is located in Colombo.
