Mudikondan Kothandaramar Temple

Sthala katha — the traditional account

What follows is the temple’s own traditional account, transmitted through liturgy and local memory. It is recorded here as tradition, not as attested history.

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.
