Today, this revered location is an important stop on the Sri Lanka Ramayana Trail, attracting devotees seeking spiritual connection and blessings

According to the Ramayana, Hakgala is believed to be one of the places connected to Sita Devi’s captivity during her stay in Lanka.

The area is also believed to be part of the Ashoka Vatika, the pleasure garden where Sita Devi was kept by King Ravana. Today, the lush greenery and exotic plants of Hakgala reflect the beauty of the ancient garden described in the epic.
