Sacred Legends:
This is believed to be the holy spot where Lord Rama rested after granting moksha to Jatayu. In keeping with the Ramayana episode, Sita Devi is not seen with the Moolavar, symbolizing the time of their separation. However, Bhooma Devi has a separate shrine. Interestingly, the Utsavar is seen with four arms holding the Shanku and Chakram, which is rare for depictions of Rama.
The temple is also just 2 km from Mandangudi, the birthplace of Tondaradipodi Azhwar, and is administered by Ahobila Mutt, with a Brindavanam for the 19th Jeer, Sri Maha Desikan.
