The temple gets its name from Lord Rama because he came here to worship Lord Shiva. The Legend After killing Ravana (a brahmin), Lord Rama arrived at Rameshwaram from Lanka with his wife Sita. To expiate the 'kukarma' or 'dosha' of killing a brahmin, he wanted to worship Lord Shiva. Since there was no Shivling in Rameshwaram, he sent Hanuman to get the biggest Shivling from the Himalayas. Since it took him a long time to return, Sita made a shivling with mud and sand that became the original Rameshwaram shivalingam. The Temple ComplexThe Primary deity is Lord Ramanathswamy (Shiva) in the form of a lingam. There is a second Shivalingam in the temple, called Vishwalingam, that was brought by Hanuman. As per Lord Rama's instructions, the Vishwalingam is worshipped first. The shrines of Ramanathswamy and Goddess Vishalakshi are separated by a corridor. There are separate shrines for numerous gods and goddesses. Architecture Similar to many ancient temples, the Ramanathaswamy Temple is also surrounded by a high wall that has Gopuram (towers) on its eastern and western sides and gates on its northern and southern sides. The interiors are very striking with long corridors running between columns built on platforms that are 5 ft high. The Pillars themselves are around 25 to 30 ft high. An interesting structure in the form of a chessboard is formed at the junction of the third corridor and the path leading from the western gopuram to the Setumadhava shrine. This structure is known as Chokkattan Madapam where all the Utsava deities are adorned and kept during festivities and auspicious days. The outer set of corridors is the longest in the world, with a total of 1212 pillars. The pillars of the main tower or rajagopuram are carved with unique individual compositions. Temple TanksThe island of Rameshwaram contains 64 holy water bodies ( theerthas), of which 24 are considered very important. 22 of these tirthas are present within the temple. The largest and the most important one being the Agni Theertham (Bay of Bengal). Bathing in this theerthas is believed to absolve one of all crime and negativity, thus making Sri Ramanathaswamy Temple a very important ritual during the pilgrimage. 2 Annai Indira Gandhi Road Bridge Rameswaram Island, Main Land, Rameswaram, Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu 623526, India A bridge that took close to 14 years to be completed, the Annai Indira Gandhi Road Bridge was India's longest bridge for quite some time and was only replaced by the Mumbai Worli sea link recently. Designed in a unique bow shape to allow passages of ship from underneath it, the Bridge is a complete wonder to look at, glittering with pride with the azure sea stretching on under it endlessly. It is parallel to the famous rail bridge Pamban. The bridge is about 2.5 km long and also offers brilliant views of the Railway Bridge and Rameshwaram Island. 3 Dhanushkodi Beach Rameswaram, Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu 623526, India Eerily deserted and mystically beautiful, the Dhanushkodi Beach makes for a marvellous Rameswaram Travel Guide - http://www.ixigo.com/travel-guide/rameswaram page 3 sight to behold. Endlessly stretching silvery sands, cool breeze, crystal clear water, and age-old ruins give the place a dream like a feel. Head here early morning to enjoy a sunrise you will remember and cherish for a lifetime. Even with all its allure, Dhanushkodi Beach remains a very emotional place for many. Prior to 1964, the place was a merry fishing village, with families, schools, temples, a railway station , and a church. On a fateful night, a cyclone swept away all that the place had, sparing nothing but a few remains. After that, the place was never rehabilitated and things never became the same. The moss covered, blackened buildings one can see here today were once the home to unfortunate and unassuming fishermen. 4 Gandamadana Parvatham 3 kms from Island, Rameswaram, Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu 623526, India This is a simple temple about 21 km north- west of the Ramanathaswamy Temple. There’s a marble image of Rama’s footprints here. The view from the upper storey is superb — windmills, sandbanks, backwaters, coconut trees and the infinite ocean. A simple temple atop a hillock that has a very pleasant aura to itself, Gandamadana Parvatham is a superb place to visit in the evenings. It houses a marble image of Lord Rama's footprints. Since the temple is free from commercialization like the other more popular ones, it breathes in a very serene, comforting and divine atmosphere. The most amazing aspect of this temple is the sweeping view it has to offer to the island of Rameshwaram. 5 Former President A. P. J.
