| History -
Thiruppullani |
 Srirama,
lying on Dharba(Dry twigs) requested for Samudrarjan to make way
for the construction of bridge to retrieve Sita from Lanka - hence
people worship him here as Dharbasayana Rama. In this temple Lakshmana
is serving(doing kainkarya). Rama can be seen as Aadisesha and
in Pattabhisheka Sannidhi He is in the traditional form. The Lord
presented Himself under the Ashwwattha tree to pullva Maharishi
here, pleased with his Ashtakshara Japa and hence this place is
called Pullaranya. Sethusnan is considered to be very auspicious.
Rameshwaram is nearby and Danushkoti, washed away in cyclone and
floods, was near this place.
