Kodandarama Temple, Chunchanakatte, Karnataka

Sri Kodandarama Temple, Chunchanakatte, Karnataka..
.
Chunchanakatte near Mysore houses an ancient temple dedicated to Lord Rama, located by the side of River Cauvery and a beautiful falls.
The uniqueness of the idol installed here is that Sita is seen standing to the right of Rama. The pristine beauty of the place with the falls gushing in full flow is a sight to watch.
Legend describes Chunchanakatte as the holy place where Lord Sri Rama, during his exile, stopped by and availed the hospitality of a tribal couple called Chuncha and Chunchi. It is in this forest that Lord Rama met Agnatha Rishi. Impressed by his devotion to Lord Narayana Rama beckoned the Rishi to ask for a wish and the Rishi expressed his desire to see Lord Rama with Sita on His right side. And thus, the Lord is seen with Sita on His right side.
