Location : Island Of Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu


Deity Linga Of Sri Ranganatha
Worshipped:
Famous A Pilgrimage To Kashi Is Not Considered Complete Without A
Tradition: Pilgrimage To Rameshwaram
Significance: One Of The 12 Jyotirlingas Of India

Rameshwaram is an island situated in the gulf of manner at the very tip of the Indian peninsula. A very
important pilgrim centre of the Indians. Rameshwaram is the place from where Lord 

Rama, built a bridge across the sea to rescue his consort Sita, from her abductor, Ravana. This is also the
place where Rama worshipped Lord Shiva to cleanse away the sin of killing Ravana. Both the Vaishnavites
and Shaivites visit this pilgrimage which is known as the Varanasi the south. 

Rameshwaram is significant for the Hindus as a pilgrimage to Benaras is incomplete without a Pilgrimage to
Rameshwaram. The presiding deity is the Linga Of Sri Ranganatha, which happens to be one of the twelve
Jyotirlingas of India. Rameshwaram is also popularly referred to as the 'Benaras of the south'. In order to
attain Moksha it is believed that the visit to Rameshwaram is mandatory. 

Mythological History 
According to the Hindu mythology i.e. the story of Ramayana Lord Rama performed thanksgiving rituals to
Lord Rama after the battle at Sri Lanka and his triumph over the demon king Ravana. Owing to this
Rameshwaram attracts Vaishnavites (worshippers of Lord Vishnu) and Saivites (worshippers of Lord Shiva)
alike.Sri Lanka is at a distance of 24 kilometers from Rameshwaram. In fact the entire area of
Rameshwaram is associated with various incidents from the Ramayana. Rameshwaram happens to one of
the most visited pilgrim sites in India. 

Location and Area 


The religious island is spread in an area of 61.8 square kilometers and happens to be in the shape of a
conch. The Ramanatha Swamy Temple occupies major area of Rameshwaram. 
User Review

Kathy
  United States:
"We had traveled to Rameshwaram before fifteen days.I want to thank your entire team for
organizing our trip to Rameshwaram which was an eye opener, visit to Ramanathaswamy temple -
was truly a divine experience & the beach of Rameshwaram with rare sea species and coral reefs is
a feast for the eyes. I look forward to using your services in the future"
The masterpiece of Dravidian architecture boasts of the largest temple corridor in India. Different rulers built
the Ramanatha Swamy Temple over a period of time starting from the 12th century. The temple comprises
of twenty-two wells where the taste of the water of each well is different from the other. 

Pilgrimage Attaractions of Rameshwaram


 Ramanathaswamy Temple
Ramnathswamy temple was built in the 17th century. Situated close to the sea on the eastern side
of the island, this temple is famous for its 1200 gigantic granite columns. The 54 metre tall gopuram
(gate-tower), 1220 metres of magnificent corridors and the flamboyant columns embellish and
render fame to the temple. The water in each of the 22 sacred wells in the temple tastes different.
 Agnitheertham
100 metres away from the temple is Agnitheertham, where Rama worshipped Lord Shiva, to
absolve himself from the killing Ravana.
 Gandamadana Parvatham
The imprint of Lord Rama's feet placed on a Chakra (wheel) is found in this shrine which is at the
highest point on the island at 2 km from Rameswaram.
 Dhanushkodi
Dhanushkodi named after Rama's bow, is at the eastern end of the island at a distance of 8 kms
from Rameshwaram. The boulders around the sea between Srilanka and this place known as
Adam's bridge, are believed to be used by Hanuman to reach across Srilanka. Dhhanushkodi was
completely destroyed by the cyclones of 1964. Kothandaramaswamy temple is the only salvage of
the cyclone. Idols of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Hanuman and Vibhishana (brother of Ravana),
surrendered to Rama, here.
 Erwadi
An important site for Muslim pilgrims, Erwadi houses the tomb of Ibrahim Sahid Aulia. At a distance
of 24 kilometers from Rameshwaram is Erwadi. Muslims from across the globe visit Erwadi
especially during the month of December to participate in the annual festival celebrated as a tribute
to the saint.

This ancient town is the district headquarters. The Ram Vilas Palace of the Sethupati Rajas is a
must visit place. The oil portraits of the Rajas of the past centuries and the articulately designed

business. Meetings with the English to battles with the Marathas, make this place more interesting.
 Tirupullani
Outside the island, there are three other sites traditionally connected with Sri Rama's expedition to
Sri Lanka. A big temple in Tiruppullani commemorates the tradition that there the Lord obtained a
bow and arrows to use in the impending war from its presiding Deity and also that the Lord of the
Ocean who had refused to help Him finally submitted.
 Uthirakosamangai
16-km southwest of Ramanathapuram stands the renowed Shiva temple of Uttarakosamangai.
Manikkavachagar has sung of it. The Lord is Mangaleshvara and the Goddess Mangalesvari. The
temple has inspired many Tamil works of devotion. So, of course, has the Ramanatha temple in
Rameshwaram.
 Sethu
5-km south of the temple is Sethu, where there is a celebrated temple of Sri Anjaneya, and where,
tradition holds, Sri Rama built a bridge to Sri Lanka. In Devipatnam, or Navapashanam, also by the
sea, there are nine stones visible at low tide. It is believed that they were set up by Sri Rama to
represent the nine planets, the Navagrahas.
