There are murals enshrined outside the Buddhist temple depicting the ceremony. The Kelani River is mentioned in the Valmiki Ramayana and Vibeeshana's Palace was said to be on the banks of this river. The reason Lakshmana crowned Vibeeshana was because Rama had to return to India as he had to continue his self-exile of 14 years to honour the commitment to his father, King Dasarath of Ajodhya. King Vibeeshana was considered a fair king, as he supported Rama against his own brother’s injustice. Many devotees that visit King Vibeeshana’s shrine pray to him asking his intervention to a fair recourse to their problems. Meals : Breakfast & Dinner |

It is believed that Munneswaram predates the Ramayana and a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva was located here. Munneswaram means the first temple for Shiva (Munnu + Easwaran). A Shiva Lingam was already here when Lord Rama visited the place. After his victorious battle Lord Rama left for Ayodhya with Sita in one of King Ravana's Vimanas. He felt he was being followed by Bramhaasthi Dosham (a malevolent black shadow) as he had killed King Ravana, who was a Brahmin. When the Vimana was passing over Munneswaram, he felt the vimana vibrating, and realized the "Brahmaasthi Dosham" was not following him at this particular point. He stopped the vimana at this juncture and asked God Shiva for a remedy. God Shiva blessed Lord Rama and advised installing and praying at the four lingams at Manavari, Thiru Koneshwaram, Thiru Ketheshwaram and Rameshwaram in India, as the only remedy to get rid of the dosham.
