Rameshwaram: Pushing away from the hustle bustle of life, Rameshwaram sits on the Pamban Island also known as Rameshwaram Island with travelers who prefer tranquility above anything. Unlike all the towns in Tamil Nadu, Rameshwaram has a spiritual force guiding it through most days. Being a part of the Chardham Yatra, the town is considered one of the holiest places to Hindus.
Along with that, it is believed that Rameshwaram was the place where Lord Rama built the bridge connecting to Sri Lanka. So as to rescue his wife Sita who was kidnapped by Ravana, the great king of Lanka.
Ramanathaswamy Temple – Tucked to Rameshwaram Island, Ramanathaswamy is a highly revered pilgrimage site which is part of the Chardham Yatra. It also stands as one of the twelve Jyotirlinga Temples dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Further, the shrine is believed to be built by Lord Rama, an avatar of Vishnu but what stands today is a marvel bestowed to the state in the 17th century. A major highlight of Ramanathaswamy is its temple corridor which is the longest among all the Hindu temples in India.
Sri Panchmukhi Hanuman Temple – This temple is located at a short distance from the Ramanathaswamy Temple. It is believed that this temple is the place where Lord Hanuman revealed his five-faced form for the first time. Besides, the shrine also houses the statues of Lord Rama, Lord Laxman, and Sita.
