Action Plan

I will review the sites noted in the following chapters of the epic: “When the Rain Ceases”, “Memento from Rama”, and “Ravana in Council”.

Pre-Departure Preparation

I plan to share a photographic annotation of the sites of Sri Lanka mentioned in the Ramayana where the forces of evil (Ravana) abduct Ravana’s wife to Lanka. I
will create a slideshow resource for teachers matching text from the Indian epic with pictures of the sites and temples.

Preparation During Travel

I will research difference maps of Sri Lanka
