Religious Significance
According to the legends, Lord Rama, Sita Devi and Lakshmana spent time at this place during their exile period. In Dvapara Yuga, Pandavas also spent their exile at this place. Sree Krishna created Rama, Seetha and Lakshmana Idols with his Divine powers and gave them to Pandavas to offer prayers. Pandavas built a Temple for those idols and offered prayers. They handed over the temple to a scholar named Vedagarbha before leaving the place. Due to invasion, the descendants of Vedagarbha hidden those idols. One day an old woman with speech disability was forced to stay in the forest due to bad weather. That night she saw an aura in the form of Rama, Sita and Lakshmana and they told her to inform about the idols to the King. Before disappearing, they wrote holy letters on her tongue and the woman started to speak. Following the instructions of the old woman, the King asked to search the place and found the idols from the water underneath the Earth. He built a temple for Lord Rama there and thus the place got the name Ramatheertham.
History
This temple belongs to 3rd Century by Gajapati Kings. The temple was developed by the Pusapati Rajas.
