Main Info
Ram Mandir, Dharmasthala
Overview
Adorned with palatial beauty and grandeur; this temple is dedicated to the service of Lord Rama, Lord Lakshman and Goddess Sita. It is a must visit place for any Ram devotee because of its sanctity and serene environment. It was built in 2003 and established by a well known spiritual guru Nithyanand Swami. This temple is a spiritual centre which leaves you spellbound. Your consciousness is never the same after visiting it. You become a centre of bliss and purpose.
This temple is located at a distance of 3.5 km from the Shri Mrijunath Temple. This place is embraced by the western ghats and the views of the Netravati River complete the aesthetic picture. Ancient scriptures focused on the purification qualities of worship places embellished by water sources. This heightens the level of peace and this is exactly what happens here. Every year, umpteen devotees come here seeking bliss and worship. The temple has two floors which house 36 idols of the deities.
In addition, every year a grand celebration is conducted on the main occasion i.e. Ram Navami. The temple celebrates this by carrying out a week of Rama Bhajana Saptaha. This time holds special significance for the devotees who chant the Rama Taraka Mehta around the Nanda deep.
