Share

Sree Rama Swami Temple is an ancient Hindu temple located in Ramapuram village near Pala in Kottayam district of Kerala. The temple has Lord Rama as principal deity, facing the east, who is in a four-armed form, Chathurbahu.It is managed by a trust called Ramapuram Devaswom consisting of three Nambudiri families of Amanakara mana, Kunnoor mana and Karanattu mana.The temple is part of Nalambalam Yatra Temples in Kottayam district.The temple is said to be more than 1000 years old.The village got its very name Ramapuram after this Temple came into existence.

The legend says that Lord Rama (incarnation of Lord Vishnu) left his kingdom of Ayodhya and reached the present Ramapuram village through the route which he used, to find his spouse Sita during the fourteen years of exile. He found the place as an ideal spot for meditation. His brothers found him missing and they went in search for him towards south. When they found him meditating in a serene place, they too sat beside him and meditated, Lakshmana at Koodapulam, Bharata at Amanakara and Shatrughna at Methiri. Over time, separate shrines for them arose in the spots where they meditated and it was famed as Nalambalam.

Nalambalam is a set of four Hindu temples in Kerala. In malayalam, nalu means “four” and Ambalam means “temple”. Nalambalam consists of temples of brothers Sri Rama, Bharatha, Lakshmana & Shatrughna.Visiting Nalambalam is considered to be a sacred event during the Malayalam month Karkidakam.

It is strongly believed that the omnipotent gods of Nalambala offer solace and relief from the troubles and tribulations of life. Special offerings to the Lords grant all your wishes and provide solace from all the illness, famine and hardship.
