Lord Rama vanquished the demon
King Ravana and several demons in the fierce battle in Lanka; soon Lord Rama
was afflicted with the sin of Brahmahathya.
In order to get rid of the sin, Lord Rama visited Rameshwaram and
worshipped Lord Ramanathaswamy. On his
way back to Ayodhya, Lord Rama worshipped Lord Shiva in several sacred lands on
Earth. This is one of the sacred lands
where Lord Rama, Goddess Sita & Lakshman arrived in a forest of Kadamba,
there Lord Rama found a self- manifested Linga and prepared to worship Lord
Shiva. Lord Nandikeshwara got in the way
Rama, assuming him as ordinary human being sand created obstruction in the
worship of the Linga. Soon, the compassionate
Mother of the Universe, Goddess Sri Parvati blocked Lord Nandikeshwara from his
action and appeared before Lord Rama. Later,
Lord Rama took holy dip in the pond situated, worshipped Lord Shiva and
proceeded to Ayodhya. Hence the
presiding deity assumed the name Ramanatheeswarar.
This temple remains open from
6.30 AM to 11.30 AM in the morning and 4.00 PM to 8.00 PM in the evenings.
