Ussangoda
is a legendary landing place of Ravana, the evil king of Hindu mythology who
piloted his special peacock chariot across the skies. The area’s landscape is
unusual, and its red earth is barren – possibly the result of a meteor that
struck in ancient times.
Ussangoda provides a panoramic view of the beach and the sea.
The extent of this place is approximately 20 acres and very little grows on the
barren red earth. Scrub jungle surrounds Ussangoda from the land side and on the
sea side the plateau drops a sheer 60 feet over a rocky escarpment out to the
open sea below. In ancient times this area was struck by a meteorite and the
barren and unusual landscape stills bares witness to this catastrophic event. |
