BRIEF TEMPLE HISTORY
(in English and Tamil Versions).

Through an Ancient Puraanaa, it is known that Sri Rama, knowing that Raavana will abduct Sri Seetha Devi, She has been given a safe place in Sri Rama's 'Hrudhayam' (Heart). Hence, Raavana had abducted only Maaya Seetha.

In the forest, when Sri Anjaneya was in prayer to have Dharshan of Sri Seetha Devi (who was in Sri Lanka), Sri Rama informed Sri Anjaneya and Sri Garudazhwar that HE will give Dharshan along with Sri Seetha Devi (Sri Mahalakshmi, residing in Sri Rama's Hrudhayam) to both of them.

Both Sri Anjaneya and Sri Garudhazhwar had Dharshan of Sri Rama and Sri Seetha Devi at Mullangudi, as per Sri Rama's desire.

This Dharshan of Sri Seetha Piraatti, later helped Sri Anjaneya to identify Sri Seetha Devi in the Ashoka Vanam in Sri Lanka, when he handed over Kanayaazhi (Ring) to Sri Seetha Piratti.

Sri Kothanda Ramar Temple at this an important Sthalam, is now in dilapidated condition.

A sum of Rs.2,50,000/- (Rupees two and half lakhs) is estimated to renovate this Temple.
