[[File:Parnasala temple.jpg|thumb|Temple of parnasala]]<br />
According to legend, it is said the "Lord Sri [[Rama]] "spent some of the 14 years of exile at this location.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://telanganatourism.gov.in/partials/destinations/heritage-spots/khammam/parnasala.html|title = Heritage Spots in Telangana :: Telangana Tourism}}</ref> The locals believe that [[Sita]], the beloved consort of "Lord Sri Rama" bathed in the stream here and dried her clothes on "Radhagutta" where the imprints are seen even today. The demon king "[[Ravana]]" parked his [[Pushpaka Vimana|Pushpaka]] on the hillock on the opposite side of the river and abducted her. An earthen ditch reportedly caused when [[Ravana]] removed earth to carry off Sita to [[Lanka]] can be seen here. Another Hindu legend names Parnashala as the location where Rama killed [[Maricha]], who came in disguise of a golden deer to deceive Sita.<br />
