Legend has it that King Rawana abducted Goddess Sita and hid in this cave near this pond. It is said that there were several tunnels under this rock which stretched for many miles. The tunnels from the Ravana Ella cave to the cold light of Nuwara Eliya near the Bogoda Rajamaha Viharaya and the Dowa Rajamaha Viharaya can still be seen today. It is also a memory that bears witness. In addition, it is believed that the tunnel was designed to reach several other areas hundreds of feet below the surface.
