About
Ramanagaram:
RAMANAGARAM(48 km from Bangalore) situated in a valley surrounded by rocky
hillocks was a sub-divisional headquarters from 1884. It became a taluk
headquarters in 1928, and the place was named Ramanagaram in 1949 . It is
the biggest cocoon marketing centre now. It is spread on either banks of the
Arkavati and the old bridge connecting the town was built by Sir Barry
Close, the Resident at the Royal Court of Mysore. Hence, the place was named
as Closept, as mentioned in Persian as well as Kannada record, erected by
Diwan Purnaiah in 1800. The township was also founded around the same time
for greater security of the high road, which then passed through a wild
forest route.
The present name, of Ramanagaram finds its origin from the once existed
village Ramagiri at the foothills of the Ramadevarabetta. The present town
has an Agrahara on the left bank of the Arkavati with a temple of Arkeshwara
built in later Vijayanagara style. The temple is said to have been renovated
by Krishnaraja Wodeyar III, facing west and has a Garbhagriha, a spacious
Navaranga and has an inner Prakara. The Linga was reinstalled about four
years ago. The annual Jatra is held on Phalguna Shuddha Poornima, when more
than 2,000 people assemble. Beside this temple, to the left, is the
Prasannambadevi shrine and to the right is another small shrine of
Venugopalaswamy.
