Namaste,
I just recently came across this town - 'Vengadampettai' located in Tamil Nadu (near Kadaloor district) that enshrines Sri Krishna and Sri Rama in a grand temple that seems to just have been renovated. The beauty of Sri Rama is too captivating! He is in a reclining posture, lying down on AdiSesha with Sita at his feet and also with Hanuman worshiping him at his feet! Pl. checkout this link that discusses Sri Rama at this beautiful temple, along with Sri Garuda in Padmasana: http://divyadesamyatra.blogspot.in/2013/09/vengadampettai-temple-lord-rama-in.html.

The other 2 kshetras (actually divyadesams) that Sri Rama is found thus in a lying posture are: Thiruppulla Bhoodangudi (This temple is located 10 km from KumbakONam in ThanjAvUr district between the rivers KAvEri and KoLLiDam) and in Thiruvallur near Chennai, TN.

Aren't these ksetras just beautiful?
If you have seen Rama in a different posture, lying down or standing in a bit different mode than his usual, please discuss it here in this thread. (I read about a kshetra a while ago where Rama along with Sita visited on the way back to Ayodhya after slaying Ravana, when they visited some sage - here, at this temple, Rama is said to stand a feet ahead of Sita, if you know the temple I am talking about, please refer it here.)
Namaste.
