The Ramachandra Perumal Temple is located in Nedungundram and is dedicated to God Ramachandraperumal. This temple was built by Krishnadeva Raya on a sprawling 8 acres land. This is the biggest temple for Sri Rama. There is an inner passage to go to the sanctum sanctorum as a cave. Sri Rama on his way back to Ayodhya after killing Ravana in the war at Lakna passed this way and met Sukabrahamma Rishi who was doing penance on the hill here. The sage was happy to have been visited by Rama along with Sita and Lakshmana. The Rishi gave some rare scriptures on palm leaves to Sri Rama who seated between Sita and Lakshmana asked Hanuman to read it out. Hanuman seated in the Padmasana posture read the scripture. According to another story the sage also taught him the Muktikopanishad here.
