Legend of Sri Kodanda Rama Temple Valmikipuram Vayalpadu 

Kodanda Ramaylam was built by Lord Jambavantha in Treta Yuga as a mark of his respect towards Lord Sri Rama. The Uniqueness of this temple is that here Lord Sri Rama will be seen in the coronation ceremony posture as presiding deity flanked by His beloved Goddess Sita Devi and also by his brothers  Laxmana, Bharatha, Shatrughna and  Lord Anjaneya. Here SriRama also called as ‘Pratapa Rama’ as he is holding a sword.

There is also a hill here called ‘Veeranna Konda’ with the shrine of Veerabhadra. It is said that the sage Valmiki sat on this hill while writing The Ramayana.

Another uniqueness of this Temple Idol in this Temple is facing North and Locals says that it is the only Temple in Andhra Pradesh with North facing.

Tallapaka Ananmacharya penned as many as 21 ‘Sankeertanas’ in praise of the Pattabhirama Swamy deity here.
