The Sri Lankan village, Sita Eliya sent a stone that will be vital in the construction of the Ram Temple.

Celebrating the construction of Ayodhya’s Ram temple, Sri Lanka sent a stone from Sita Eliya, a village where Goddess Sita was held captive. The stone was brought to India by the Sri Lankan High Commissioner-designate to India, Milinda Moragoda. This place, called Sita Eliya is believed to have been the place where she was held captive by the demon king Ravana. And she regularly prayed for her husband, Lord Ram to rescue her.
