One of the most important Rama temples in Andhra Pradesh, where Lord Rama is worshipped as Kodandarama (Rama with bow). The temple has an unusual tradition — no chariot festival; instead the deity is carried on a decorated boat on the Suvarnamukhi river. The 16th-century temple has exquisite Vijayanagara-era sculpture.
