India has initiated the process of sending sacred Sarayu river water to Sri Lanka for the consecration ceremony of Seetha Amma Temple, dedicated to Goddess Sita.
The consecration ceremony of Seetha Amma Temple will take place on May 19. The decision came following a letter from Sri Lanka's representatives to the Uttar Pradesh government, requesting Sarayu river water for religious ceremonies and the consecration of Goddess Sita's idol at the temple.
Under the directive of the UP government, the Tourism Department has been given the responsibility of transporting the holy water.
