History

The temple is estimated to have been constructed about 150 years ago. Rama, the main idol, is depicted as having a bow (Kothandam), and hence the name Kothandaramaswamy for the idol. The temple is constructed by the Saurashtrians who had come from southern Gujarat to South India in 14th century AD. [1] [2]
