Architecture
Origin of the Name - Lord Shri Ram built a new temple for Devi Sita, thus fulfilling her wish and hence the name of this temple became Mankameshwar which means 'Great God, absolver of Debts'.
When Devi Sita bathed in the Sangam and she wished to pray to Lord Shiva. But there was no Lord Shiva temple nearby the Sangam. Lord Shri Ram built a new temple for Devi Sita. The construction of the temple is noted for sculptures carved on the walls and different pillars. Some of the sculptures are elaborately colored. Frescoes are engraved on the four walls of the temple, making it look aesthetically pleasing while also depicting tales from the Hindu Mythology. The Mankameshwar temple is a small structure and the main idol of the temple is a north facing black stone lingam Shivling. The Shivling is installed on top of a 80-feet high hillock among picturesque surroundings. It is said that the 3 and a half feet Shivling is much deeper underground and it was installed by Lord Ram while going to Chitrakoot.
