A man-woman is associated with the forest dwellers about the emergence of the temple here. According to this, a Ram Bhakta forest dweller lived in the village of Dammakka Bhadireddypalem. This old woman adopted and raised a boy named Rama. One day Ram went to the forest and did not return. While searching for the son, Dammakka reached the forest and started wandering, calling "Ram-Ram". That's when he heard a voice from inside a cave saying "Mother, I am here".
On searching, there were found statues of Sita, Rama and Lakshmana. Seeing them, Dammakka became filled with devotion. At this time, he found his son also standing in front. Dammakka pledged to establish the deity idols at the same place and built a temporary temple by making a bamboo roof. Gradually the local forest dwellers started worshiping Shri Ram on that hill called 'Bhadragiri' or 'Bhadrachalam'. Later, They made Bhadrachalam a bridge for the union of the forest dwellers.
