Sri Rama Paduka Pattabhishekam (transl. The coronation of Lord Rama's padukas) is a 1932 Indian Telugu-language Hindu mythological drama film directed by Sarvottam Badami.[1] It is notable for being the second Telugu talkie film.[2] The film stars renowned stage actor Yadavalli Suryanarayana as Lord Rama, alongside C. S. R. Anjaneyulu and Surabhi Kamalabai.[3][4]
The film is based on an episode from the Ramayana, depicting Lord Rama's fourteen-year exile in the forest and Bharata's symbolic coronation of Rama's padukas (footwear) on the throne, symbolizing Rama's rule in his absence.[5] It holds significance as the first Telugu film based on the Ramayana, with Yadavalli Suryanarayana as the first actor to portray Rama and Surabhi Kamalabai as the first actress to play Sita in Telugu cinema.[6]
