Sri Rama Temple lies at Nedungunam in
Vellore District.
The presiding deity, Lord Ram, is in a sitting position with chin mudra, Sita on his left and Lakshman to his right. He assumes the role of Guru and Lord Hanuman is seated listening to his Lord. Here the Lord is known as Vijaya Raghavan, signifying his victory over Ravana.

There are two utsava murtis (procession idols) holding chakra and conch in their upper hands with the lower right hand showing the abhaya hasta pose (pose of showering blessings by indication in hand).
