The Sanjeevani - Legend of the Gandhamardan Hills
In local tradition, one myth towers above all others in explaining the sacred power of the Gandhamardan Hills. During the Ramayana war, when Lakshmana lay unconscious, Hanuman flew to the Himalayas to retrieve life-saving herbs. As he carried the mountain of medicinal plants back toward Sri Lanka, a fragment slipped from his grasp and fell upon this very region. That fallen piece, according to enduring belief, became the Gandhamardan range itself.
