Architecture
Sri Rameshwara temple is located at the bank of the river Thunga which was established by sage Parasuram. Blood stain in the axe of Parasuram after cutting his mother's head to carry out the orders of his father was washed in Thunga river on new moon day of Margashira month according to Hindu calendar also called as Yellu Amavasya. Sri Rameshwara Temple has Rama mantap and has a koneru Parashurama Thirtha. Old style of house construction which is made up of mangalore tiles are till now available to watch in ratha beedhi.
Religious Significance
As per the legend, the Parashurama son of great sage Jamadagni and Renukadevi (Parashu means axe, hence his name literally means Rama of the axe) chopped off his mother Renuka's head using an axe on the orders of his father, Jamadagni. Later, Parashurama tried to wash the blood stains off the axe by dipping it in various rivers. Despite of dipping it in various sacred rivers, a sesame-sized blood stain remained on his axe. Then he dipped his axe in the Tunga river near Thirthahalli. Hence, this place is now called as Parashurama Thirtha (or RamaThirtha) and is the origin of the name Thirthahalli.
History
This temple was built in 17th century.
