Rameshwaram Travels
Rameswaram, a small island in the Gulf of Mannar, is a major pilgrim
centre .It is connected to the mainland by road and rail bridges.
Rameswaram is holy, because Sri Rama, on his return from Sri Lanka, offered
his thanks to Lord Shiva and performed pooja to wash away his sins which
he got by killing Demon King, Ravana. Rameswaram is known for its theerthas(
wells ) in and around the main temple. This place is equally sacred to
both Vaishnavites and Saivites.
According to Hindu Mithology, if one will visit Rameswaram and pray
Lord Shiva means, the whole sins will be relieved from the body. The
Ramanathaswamy temple is renowned for its magnificent corridors and
massive sculptured pillars. The third corridor of Ramanathaswamy temple
is the longest one in the world.
