Tradition says Rama, Sita and Lakshmana stayed here during their exile. The neighbouring Gurubhaktulakonda and Durgakonda hills have ruins of Buddhist monasteries from around the 3rd century BCE, and Bodikonda has Jain caves, showing the area's long religious history. The hilltop Kodanda Rama shrine on Bodikonda was restored by the state after damage in 2020.
