Sri Kodandarama Swamy Temple
శ్రీ కోదండరామ స్వామి ఆలయం
An ancient temple in the city center enshrining Rama, Sita and Lakshmana. According to legend, Rama stopped here on his way back from Lanka.
Built in the 10th century during the Chola period, the main sanctum enshrines Rama holding his bow, together with Sita and Lakshmana. Across from it stands a separate shrine to Hanuman. The temple is modest in size but has a long history, and its gopuram and stone carvings are well preserved. It is one of the city-center temples managed by TTD. A grand procession is held during Rama Navami. Entry is free, and the temple is about a 10-minute walk from the Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple.
