Legends
That Mother Sita was enticed by a deer of rare radiance
and her pursuing Lakshmana to get it for her and fell abducted by Ravana when
Lakshmana went after the deer is a story known to every devout Hindu and
scholars of this epic. This is the place from where Anjaneya set out in
search of Sita with the ring of Lord Rama and returned back to him with her
Choodamani for identification. Honouring Anjaneya for his heroic and
devout deeds, people built the temple for him and later installed Lord
Srinivasa Perumal with Mother Mahalakshmi on his beautiful chest.
