Hiking Trail:- Narangala hiking trail starts at Thangamalai estate. In Tamil, "Thangamalai" translates to "golden mountain." This region is abundant in grass, and when the grass becomes slightly dry due to intense sunlight, it takes on a golden hue, giving the mountain its name. Narangala's distinctive characteristic lies in its sharply rectangular peak, rendering it a captivating spectacle even when viewed from a considerable distance.

Myths, Legends and Folklore II & Citta the Enchantress

  FROM THE PAGES OF HISTORY Myths, Legends and Folklore II In order to overcome this difficulty, it has been proposed to take Lata of the chronicles to be the same as Radha in Western Bengal, and to locate Sinhapura in the place known as Singur. But, if a band of immigrants started from a port in Bengal, it is very unlikely that they would have touched land at a place on the north-western seaboard of Ceylon, where Tambapanni was. And there was no need for them to have come to Supparaka or Barukachcha – ports on the western coast of India – before they arrived in Ceylon. On the other hand, if they started from Gujarat, Barukachcha and Supparaka were on their route to Ceylon. And, in Gujarat, there was in the olden days a place known as Sinhapura, now called Sihor.

At Pallansena the army of Ravana appeared to dispute the passage of the Maha Oya, but after a fierce battle was driven back in confusion, taking with it the dead body of its commander Ingrutila; Rama Chandra thereupon advanced to the fortress of Ravana, and after a tedious siege succeeded in killing the latter and rescuing the princess. The magic of the defeated king, says a dim tradition, has hidden from mortal eyes th
