Brief History of Ramamandira
History
A group of devoted Brahmins of Srirampet used to gather together every year since 1890. in one person’s house and collectively celebrate Sri Rama Pattabhishekam by performing pujas, devotional chanting and bhajans, prasadam distribution etc., with enthusiasm. They decided that in order to continue this tradition, they needed a place to consecrate Lord Sri Rama and to continue doing his worship. They decided to build a ramamandirof their own and thus came the origin of Sri Ramabhyudhaya Sabha. A very generous devotee Sri Bette Gowda of Koppala, Srirangapatna taluk donated his house which is opposite to Nalla Patna Police Station in the present Srirampet of Mysore. Sri Ramotsava is being performed here since 1903 in all grandeur by the devotees and volunteers. – The Trust celebrated its diamond jubilee celebration
