The only evidence for the Ramayana occurring in the Treta Yuga is Valmiki’s Ramayana. However, experts emphasize that clarifying the location of Ravana’s Lanka requires understanding historical, geographical, and astronomical changes. The Ramayana is a pivotal episode in India’s history and an ideal epic for humanity. Valmiki’s Ramayana not only details the lives of Rama, Sita, and other characters but also describes the geographical and socio-political conditions of that era. Modern serials and movies mislead people into thinking only Hanuman, Jambavan, and Angada were sent to search for Sita. However, Valmiki’s Kishkindha Kanda states that Sugriva prepared four search parties, each led by powerful commanders. At that time, these commanders were stronger than Hanuman, as he was yet to realize his full potential. This isn’t to belittle Hanuman but to reflect the circumstances of that period. Sugriva instructed each party about the challenges, geographical features, and people they might encounter. Hanuman’s party was sent southward, covering regions like Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. Eventually, they reached Mahendragiri Mountain, beyond which lay the vast ocean. Lanka, ruled by Ravana, was described as a 100-yojana-wide (1,280 km) island in the ocean. However, today’s Sri Lanka is only 50–60 km wide and 30 km from India. Thus, Hanuman’s Lanka cannot be modern Sri Lanka. Another evidence is Sri Lanka’s historical name. Ancient records refer to it as Sinhala, not Lanka. The name Sri Lanka emerged in 1972. Earlier, during British rule, it was called Ceylon. Sanskrit texts use Lanka to mean "island." For example, Telugu regions have islands named Bobbarlanka and Pichukalanka. The term was adopted by Sri Lanka in 1950, but Valmiki’s Lanka was much larger. Thirdly, ancient Indian astronomy mentions the Prime Meridian passing through Ujjain and Kurukshetra. Valmiki’s Lanka was aligned with this meridian, unlike Sri Lanka. Experts suggest Ravana’s Lanka might have been near the Maldives, now submerged. Geological changes, volcanic eruptions, or tectonic shifts could have destroyed it. Some historians speculate Ravana’s Lanka was part of Kumari Kandam, a lost continent mentioned in Tamil texts like Manimekalai and Silappathikaram. Around 25,000 years ago, Kumari Kandam sank, possibly leaving remnants like Lanka. However, more research is needed. What about Ram Setu? Valmiki’s
