Saputara History

There isn't much known about the history of Saputara. However, it is said that Lord Ram spent 11 years of his exile in the forests of Saputara. Saputara literally means 'abode of serpents,' which is due to the presence of a snake image on the shores of Sarpagana river, which flows through the town of Saputara.
