Significance
The sanctum images of Sita, Rama and Lakshmana are carved from a single stone, and unusually there is no Hanuman beside them, as he had not yet joined Rama during the exile. Sri Rama Navami (March-April) is the main festival, when Sri Rama Kalyanam draws tens of thousands of devotees. Hundreds of Telugu films were shot here until filming was stopped, and the temple is now sought after for weddings.
History
Local legend says Rama rested here on his way to the Dandakaranya forest. There are no inscriptions on site, and accounts differ on its age and builders: it is variously attributed to the Vengi or Kalyani Chalukyas between the 7th and 13th centuries, most often to the 12th-13th century. According to the priests, the sanctum and mandapa are the oldest parts, while the gopuram and the pillared corridors around the stepwell were added in the 17th century. The complex covers about nine acres.
