Ramatheertham Rama Temple

Ramatheertham Rama Temple is a hilltop Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Rama located in Ramatheertham village, Nellimarla mandal, Vizianagaram district, Andhra Pradesh. Situated about 12 km from Vizianagaram city on a small hillock, it enshrines ancient idols of Rama, Sita and Lakshmana. The site is notable for its scenic hill setting, adjacent Jain archaeological remains on Bodhikonda and Ghanikonda, and its importance as a regional pilgrimage centre, especially during Sri Rama Navami.

Visitors can expect a hilltop temple reached by a flight of stone steps offering views of the surrounding countryside and a small temple tank at the foothills. The main shrine houses stone idols of Lord Rama with Sita and Lakshmana. The complex is simple and traditional with a mandapa and sanctum. Adjacent hills Bodhikonda and Ghanikonda contain ancient Jain ruins, rock-cut caves and votive stupas that can be explored nearby. The setting is quiet, rural and pilgrimage-oriented.
