The Kodandarama temple at Vontimitta is a major Hindu temple about 25 kilometers east of Kadapa city, in Andhra Pradesh. Built anew during the Vijayanagara Empire era, along with those at Somapalem and Tadpatri, the Vontimitta temple reflects the architectural principles that flourished in the Deccan region with Vijayanagara patrons. The temple is dedicated to Rama, the Vishnu avatar best known through the epic Ramayana. There are several Kodandarama temples in India, such as the one in Hampi. The Vontimitta temple offers a comparative benchmark. The temple name is derived from the word kodanda (bow), as the Hindu legends of focus here are Rama with a bow (along with Lakshmana) as they meet and engage Sugriva and Hanuman in their epic struggle for Sita and dharma.
