With a view to unite all devotees belonging to the three
important sects – Dwaida, Advaitha and Visishtathvaida philosophies, shrines
for Lord Ganapathi and Sri Anjaneya were created. The managing committee also built a lecture,
fine arts hall for musical and dance performances. This was inaugurated by His Holiness Sri Sri
Abhinava Vidya Theertha Swamigal of Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetam. A team was also set up by the devotees for
the construction of a Raja Gopuram and Dwajasthamba. The foundation for these
was laid on 3-2-2006. For the purpose of
the construction, the sanctum sanctorum was readjusted. Lord Rama and Anjaneya are facing south. A Navagraha shrine then came into being on
the eastern side.
Aesthetic sculptures adore the front frame of the sanctum
sanctorum. The silver covered doors are
decorated with carvings of Mahalakshmi in Her eight forms. The temple has a box of papers containing 13
crore Rama Namas.
There are beautiful sculptures of Nruddha Ganapathy,Siddhi
Buddhi Ganapathy, Bala Ganapathi, Punnaimara Krishnan, Dasavathara Rama, Yoga

mortar (Suddhai) sculptures of Adhi Sankara, Sri Ramanuja, Madhvacharya, Lord
Shiva, Vinayaka, Aiyappa, Sri Rama Pattabishekam add additional beauty
throughout the prakara. The temple complex
is an outstanding example of sculptural skills of Tamilnadu.

Lord Kothanda Ramaswami Temple in Ramnagar in the city is an
outstanding representation of temple buildingart, clean maintenance and pujas
and Homas being performed from time to time.
Ramnagar is also home of legal practitioners and their clerks. They got this facility from the then collector
of the City granting him land for them.
They built their own houses and settled there. Earlier the place was called Agraharam,
Ranganathapuram and Karivaradhapuram.
The residents then decided to build a temple and purchased a
land covering 85 cents and appointed a team for the construction of the
temple. Funds were collected from
public. The temple was constructed
according to rules. The consecration
took place in the year 1933 5th February. Lord Rama graces from the sanctum sanctorum
accompanied by Mother Sita Devi and Brother Lakshmana. The area then came to be known as Ram Nagar
after the name of Lord Rama. The temple
is well maintained with renovations when needed.
