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.
