Puranic Significance

A few hundred years ago there was also buddha worship. There is also a Buddha statue in the temple. There are two large ponds along the main road, and in between the two is a beautiful small temple, and Sri Rama is here on his way to Sri Lanka. While resting under a paddy tree, he also realized that there was a Shivalinga under the ground. Lord Rama again brought out the Shivalinga and worshiped it. Sri Rama worshiped Shiva Lingam and hence is called Sri Rama Nath Swamy. Lord – Ramanathaswami Mother – Parvatavartini

In the temple to the east, there is a medium-sized lingamurti of the Lord, and at the gate of the sanctum sanctorum there are two deities and Valli-Theivanai Murugan. Ambikai is facing south in beautiful form. This temple was renovated in 1945 by the people of Devakota, and after that it is not known when it was consecrated. The temple is 1000 years old temple. The airframe is made of stone up to the top. Adjoining the sanctum sanctorum is the front hall. There is also a Nandi Mandapam balipeetha outside it. Among the Karurai Kothams there is Brahma Durga.
