History & significance

A Vishnu temple in Nannilam taluk held to predate the age of the Alvars, with sanctums for Rama as Kothandaramar, Yogasayana Perumal and Ranganathar.

Sthala katha — the legend

Returning from Lanka, Rama is said to have halted at sage Bharadwaja's hermitage here and shown himself in coronation form before the actual crowning at Ayodhya, which is how the village got the name Mudikondan.
