Chunchanakatte Falls

This is one of the most devotional, serene and scenic spot. Lord Ram has been installed here by Maharshi Aghastya with Seeta and laxmana as per the local mythology of the temple is concerned.

And here the cracking the coconut is done in front of Lord Hanuman, which is near the river. As Lord Ram here has granted Hanuman this special honour where the devotees worship hanuman first before Ram.

Here Devi Seeta had been bathing while they were in exile and the river has turned to the color of Shikakai and oil.

Also, this place is called Chunchunkatte because of the two demons called Chincha and Chunchi were causing havoc in this region and Lord Ram relieved the people by killing these demons.

These are the stories I collected from the locals about the temple.

Here is the glimpse of the this great place.
