Sri Rama Temple- Badrachalam
The Sree Seetha Ramachandra Swamy shrine at Bhadrachalam, the most famous temple in the country dedicated to Lord Rama, is situated on the left bank of the Godavari river. It is a place of pilgrimage for Hindus, considered to be one of the greatest holy shrines in South India with a very rich and unique historical background. The Temple was constructed in the 17th Century by the local Tahsildar, Kancharla Gopanna, popularly known as Bhakta Ramadas, a fervent devotee of Lod Sree Rama.
The puranic and historic facts relate that Lord Rama long after he had shed his mortal coils manifested himself to save his devotee Bhadra Maharshi whom he promised 'moksha' after intensive prayer. That is why the village is named after Bhadra as Bhadradri or Bhadrachalam. Srirama appeared in a dream to a woman called Pokala Dammakka and informed here about the existence of vigrahas on Bhadragiri hills. To her surprise she found the "Vigrahas" and put up a modest structure. This was the origin of the present temple.
According to legend, Lord Sri Rama himself appeared in a dream to a pious lady known as Pokala Dammakka and communicated to her about the existence of vigrahas on Bhadragiri hills. When she searched, she found the 'Vigrahas'. And soon thereafter, she managed to erect a modest structure, all by herself, and offered puja to the deities.
The present-day temple was constructed by the local Tahsildar, Kancharla Gopanna, popularly known as Bhakta Ramadas, a fervent devotee of Lord Sree Rama, in the 17th Century. Gopanna, who was the Tehsildar of Bhadrachalam at that time, is said to have utilized money from the government treasury to build this temple, and thus, he was imprisoned in Golconda fort. Lord Rama is said to have miraculously given the then Sultan the money used by Gopanna, after which he was released. Gopanna then became Bhadrachala Ramadasu, and went on to compose innumerable number of songs in Telugu in praise of Rama.
