Sri Ramnathi Temple

Situated close to the temple of Naugesh is the temple of Ramnathi.

The deity is incarnation of Lord Shiva and is equally revered by both Shaivites and Vaishnavites.

Lord Ramnath is the form of Shiva worshipped by Lord Rama before embarking on the Sri Lanka campaign to free Goddess Sita from the clutches of Ravana.

It is famous for its serene atmosphere. The temple was built around 1566 AD and was renovated in 1905.

The "Sabhamantapa", however, is a recent addition.
