Sri.Kothandaramar Temple
Pattabhisheka Rama in Kanchi 
The temple of Sri Kothanda Ramar of Pon Vilaindha Kalathur, a village of historical pre-eminence, is situated in Kancheepuram district. Rich green fields with golden paddy sheaves gave this village the name 'Pon Vilaindha Kalathur'. Another speciality of this village is that it is the seat of many temples. Pugazhendhi pulavar, who sang 'Nalavenba', belonged to this place and other men of great intellect who lived here are Andhagakavi Veeraraghava Mudaliyar, Padikakathambiran and Kootruva Nayanar who was one of the Nayanmars.The sanctum sanctorum of Sri Kodhanda (Pattabhi) Rama in Sri Parangusapura Agraharam dates back to many years. This temple, which was in a dilapidated condition, was given a facelift by Sri Parangusapura Yatheenthra Mahadesikan (3rd Jeeyar) of tthe Ahobil Mutt who established the deity 'Vilakoli Perumal' here. Later, Sreeshashtai Parangusapura Yatheenthra Mahadesikan (6th Jeeyar) renovated the sanctum sanctorum and established the Parangusapura Agraharam. Alll this information can be found in the Ahobila Mutt's documents. 
The main deity of Pattabhiramar appears with Seetha and Lakshmana on either side in this temple. Utsavar Sri Kodhandaramar and the main deity, Sreenivaasar, standing 6 feet tall with Sreedevi and Bhoodevi, are also seen in this temple. There is a separate temple near this, with a sanctum sanctorum for Sri Dharpasayanam Sethuraamar, which was built by Salem Vijayaraghavachari 100 years ago. In Kodhandaraamar temple, pooja is performed twice a day and every month in Punarvasu star, abhishegkam is performed for Sri Ramar and in Thiruvonam star the same is done for Sreenivasar. They are taken around in a holy procession also during these days.'Oonjal Utsavam' is celebrated for Sri Alarmel Mangai during the months of Aadi and Thai on Fridays. During Thiruaadipooram, Bhoghi and Panguni Uthiram, thirukalyanam is performed for Sreenivasar and Alarmel Mangai. The deities are also taken in procession inside the temple during Navarathri. The distinctive feature of this temple is that one can see the deity Rama in sitting posture (pattabhishekam) as well as sleeping (dharpasayanam) posture. The devotees who worship here are absolved of their sins and diseases, as by tradition.
