COLOMBO -- As water gushes down the cascading Ravana Falls in the quaint Sri Lankan town of Ella, my heart soars. Watching an epic come to life is nothing short of surreal.
Every Indian household has a copy of the Ramayana story, thought to date to the 7th-century BC, in which Sri Lanka plays a key role. Legend has it that Ravana kidnapped Princess Sita, wife of Lord Rama, a revered Indian deity, and hid her behind this very waterfall.
