Ravana Falls, Ella
Ravana Falls, Ella, Hill Country, Sri Lanka
The falls have been named after the demon king Ravana, and is connected to the famous Indian epic Ramayana. According to the Ramayana, Ravana kidnapped princess Sitha and hid her in the caves behind the waterfall, now simply known as the Ravana Ella Cave. The reason for the kidnapping is said to be an act of revenge for slicing off the nose of his sister by prince Rama, Sitha's husband, and his brother Laxmana.
At the time, the cave was surrounded with thick forests in the midst of wilderness and extremely difficult to get to.
The waterfall is 25 meters (82 ft) high and cascades from an oval-shaped concave rock outcrop. During the wet season, the waterfall turns into what is said to resemble an areca flower with withering petals.
