New Delhi, April 20: Vice President C.P. Radhakrishnan visited the Sita Amman Temple located in Sita Eliya, Sri Lanka. He shared this experience on the social media platform X.
In his post, the Vice President highlighted that this temple, associated with the Ramayana, stands as a strong symbol of the deep cultural and civilizational ties between India and Sri Lanka. He also paid his respects at the Hanuman Kovil, a temple dedicated to the sacred footprints of Devi Sita and Hanuman during their meeting in Ashok Vatika.
Radhakrishnan recalled Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s announcement during his visit to Sri Lanka last year, which stated that the Indian government would assist in the renovation of the Sita Amman Temple. He emphasized that this initiative would further strengthen the historical relations between the two nations.
The Vice President arrived in Sri Lanka on April 19 for a two-day official visit. On the first day, he met with Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake.
On April 19, Radhakrishnan also worshipped at the renowned Kathiresan Temple and Gangaramaya Temple in Colombo, where he was warmly welcomed with traditional Tamil music and dance.
During his visit, several significant Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) were signed. One MoU was for the construction of a four-story medical ward complex at the Mullaitivu District General Hospital. Additionally, six separate MoUs were established for the implementation of priority projects under multi-sectoral grant assistance for the Eastern Province.
Several important announcements were made during this trip, including the extension of OCI eligibility for the sixth generation of Indian migrants and the simplification of the OCI process for the Tamil community of Indian origin. Furthermore, updates were provided on the completion of the third phase of the Indian housing project, which has resulted in the construction of 4,000 homes for plantation community families.
