Puranic Significance

Ramnagar is also home of legal practitioners and their clerks. They got this facility from the then collector of the City granting him land for them. They built their own houses and settled there. Earlier the place was called Agraharam, Ranganathapuram and Karivaradhapuram.

The residents then decided to build a temple and purchased a land covering 85 cents and appointed a team for the construction of the temple. Funds were collected from public. The temple was constructed according to rules. The consecration took place in the year 1933 5th February.

The temple is well maintained with renovations when needed.
