History

The village of Seethangoli is in the shape of a finger ring. According to local traditions, when the Sri Lankan demon Ravana abducted the Indian goddess Sitadevi, a ring fell down from her hand and became a village in that shape. So it is called 'Seethangoli' or Seeth's 'Anguli,' or ring.

Notable people
