The Ramaswamy temple is located at the heart of the Kumbakonam and has a unique idol in the form of Lord Rama and Sita. The idol is surrounded by Lord Hanuman, Rama’s brothers Lakshmana, Shatrugna and Bharatha. On the walls of the prakaram (closed precincts of a temple), Ramayana is depicted in pictorial format in three segments. One can read through Ramayana pictorially whilst taking 3 pradakshinams (rounds) of the sanctum. The Ramayana is repainted every 20 years.
