Legend As per Hindu legend, Ravana, a king, obtained boons from Brahma that he should be killed by any celestial deity or gods. To slay the demon, Vishnu took a human avatar Rama. Ravana came to the forest where Rama and Sita were staying incognito and abducted her. Rama was trying to build a bridge to Lanka to relieve his wife Sita from Ashokavana where Ravana held her hostage. The bridge was proposed to be built from Dhanushkodi, the nearest point to reach Lanka. Rama started doing pooja seeking favours from Hindu god Ganesha, as is done first during any Hindu religious worship. The place where he did the worship is believed to be the Vinayagar temple at Uppur. The second step for Hindu worship ritual is the Navagraha pooja, worshipping the nine planetary deities, which was done at Navapashanam. Rama is believed to have installed the Navagrahas with his own hands with the clay from the place.
