Sri Rameshwara Temple located in Thirthahalli is one of the main Hindu Temples. This temple is constructed on the banks of the river Tunga and it is made of stone. Sri Rameshwara Temple is near the place Parashurama Thirtha. The sanctum sanctorum of the temple has a Shiva Lingam which is believed to have been installed by Parashurama. The day Parashurama cleaned his axe to remove the sesame-sized (Ellu in Kannada language) blood stain; was Amavasye (New Moon Day) of Margashira month in the Hindu calendar. That particular day is termed as Ellu-Amavasye (also called Ellamavasye) day and every year on this day a fair termed as Ellu Amavasya Jatre is celebrated at great devotion in Thirthahalli. The Ellu Amavasya Jatre will last for more than five days, but three days are very important for the devotees. On the day of Ellamavasye, the Utsava Moorthi (procession idol) of Lord Sri Rameshwara is taken to the river and holy Abhishekam is carried out on the idol in the Parashurama Thirtha. After this, the devotees take a holy dip at this place. On the second day, the temple chariot which is decorated with flowers is pulled along the main street of Thirthahalli. This street is call Car Street (Ratha Beedhi in Kannada language). The big chariot of the temple which occupies almost the entire width of the street, is pulled by devotees and the chariot even climbs a steep gradient on this road. On the third day, the Utsava Moorthi is taken on a Teppa (raft) on holy river Tunga towards the river bank at Kuruvalli and brought back. This celebration is called Teppotsava (raft-festival).
