Parnasala is a small village located at a distance of more than 30 kilometers from the holy town Bhadrachalam in the state of Telangana. Tourists visit Parnasala by road or boats as the means of transportation.

According to the legend, Lord Rama had spent some part of his fourteen years of exile at this place. The little stream here is believed to be a testimony to the belief that Sita, wife of Lord Shri Ram, took her bath in the stream, and hence the place is called Sita Vaagu. Another story accounting to the history of this village is that Maricha Rakshasa was killed by Lord Shri Ram in the same place when he had come in disguise as a golden deer to deceive Goddess Sita.

Parnasala is a most sought after heritage spot in Bhadrachalam. It is believed to be the place where the King of Lanka, Ravana had abducted Goddess Sita.
