Sugriva's cave - Sita Seragu - Hindu temple in Hampi, Nimbapura - Ballari, India

Sugriva's Cave, also known as Sita's Kitchen or Sita Seragu, is a significant site in Hampi associated with the Ramayana epic. It is believed that Sugriva, the monkey king from the Ramayana, took refuge in this cave. The name "Sita Seragu" suggests a connection with Sita, the wife of Lord Rama. The cave has carvings and inscriptions depicting episodes from the Ramayana. It's said that Sita, during her captivity, cooked food in this cave for herself and Lord Rama. The site carries both historical and mythological importance, attracting visitors interested in the cultural and religious heritage of the region.

Divine location near the banks of River Tungabhadra. You can go during early morning or evening before 5:30pm

The signs posted sent us behind the cave, in the direction to the river. There was nothing to see there. Then someone asked us to go in front of the Seetha pond and there we found the cave.

This is a must see place and remember the stories of Ramayana. The path to the cave is to the left of the Vitthala temple campus past the Kings balance. The cave is nothing but a small opening in a bolder. I doubt that this was the actual cave because Sugriva used to live on rishimukh parawat which is the mountain right behind the cave on the other side of the river. This whole are was safe from Bali by the curse of Matang muni.

This cave has history of Sri Rama story and Vali sugriva war. And has other temples besides and opposite to temple Tunga bhadra river is there beautiful view

If you are taking the riverside route this falls almost in the mid way between Sree Virupaksha temple and Vijaya Vitthal temple. Natural rock formation has created cave like structure. This is the place where Sugreeva showed Sita Maa's jewels to Lord Rama. It is on the banks of river Tunga. The two parallel strips in the rock, is believed to be border design of Sita Maa's garment. Near by there is a pond.

Small cave along with water and not yet well maintained. Because they were not able to cover all the places of hampi. Iron doors were locked you can see inside. Better to visit before 5:30 again you need to walk back to the parking lot or in the cycle you'll see on the way..

This cave is where Sugriv used to hide in the epic mythology Ramayan. To reach this place you need to walk the path of more than 2kms as this place lies after Vijay Vittala temple. I did not had much time to make a visit here as I had to catch a ferry which is last at 5pm so had to skip this cave. But you definitely make a visit to this.
