Temple History and Legend

Vontimitta Sri Kodanda Ramalayam has a significant history for being the temple without the idol of Sri Hanuman as the legend narrates that it was the place where Sri Rama along with Sita and Lakshmana wandered during His Aranyavasa before He met Sri Anjaneya.

Sri Rama quenched the thirst of His beloved spouse by shooting an arrow on the ground from which water spring splashed out. And this water body is known as Rama Theertham which is located adjacent to the temple.

Poets' Den

Versatile Telugu Poets like Bammera Potana, Ayyalaraju Ramabhadra, Nallakalva Ayyappa, Tippayya penned great works from this sacred place only.

Temple Construction

According to the available historical evidence, this temple construction began in the 14th century and lasted till the 17th century.

The temple is an architectural marvel with unique sculptures and even the presiding deities of Sri Sita Rama Lakshmana were carved on a single rock and hence the name of the temple town, Ekasila Nagaram.
