The "Edurukolu Utsavam" is a sacred tradition celebrated on the evening before the divine wedding of Lord Rama and Goddess Seetha. This ritual takes place on the temple grounds and is an integral part of the Ram Navami celebrations. During the Edurukolu Utsavam, a ceremonial introduction and interaction between Lord Rama and Goddess Seetha are performed, symbolizing their divine union.

The purpose of this tradition is to create an atmosphere of spiritual preparation and reverence leading up to the celestial wedding. It is believed to showcase the divine love and harmony between Lord Rama and Goddess Seetha, which culminates in their marriage the following day. Devotees gather to witness this sacred moment, which is considered a key event before the grand wedding celebration, adding to the religious and cultural significance of the festival.
