Rameswaram Tour
Starting rate per person all inclusive
Rameswaram, one of the four Char Dham pilgrimage locations, is regarded as one of the holiest places for Hindus in India. It is also the location closest to Sri Lanka from India. According to geological evidence, the Rama Sethu bridge originally connected this location to Sri Lanka. Since the beginning of time, tourists have been drawn to and admired this small hamlet. On his way back from his battle with Ravana, it is said that Lord Rama prayed to Lord Shiva in order to atone for the sins he had to commit during the conflict. According to one interpretation, the idol in the temple, the Shiv Linga, was constructed as a result of his worship. According to a different story, the Shiv Linga was constructed before his journey to Lanka. The temple and the legends around it, however, have contributed to the town's attractiveness.
Overview
Ramanathaswamy Temple
The Ramanathaswamy Temple is one of Rameshwaram's most popular tourist attractions. The Ramaathaswamy Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is a well-known Hindu shrine known for its historical significance and 22 pious wells known as 'theerthams,' where one can take a bath to atone for their sins. The temple has a mind-boggling architecture with majestic towers, vast corridors, and a unique structure that draws tourists from all walks of life, sprawling over an area of about 15 acres of land. This temple, like many others in South India, is surrounded by massive walls on all four sides. The temple is open from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the morning and from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the evening.
Jada Tirtham
'Jada Tirtham' is another attraction in Rameshwaram. Jada Tirtham, located on the way to Dhanushkodi, is a large water tank surrounded by lush green trees and has its own mythological significance among Lord Rama devotees. Lord Rama and his brother Lakshmana are said to have visited this location to worship Lord Shiva after killing Ravana. They washed their hair (Jada) in this pond before doing so. This act was performed to cleanse them of any sins they may have committed during the war. Since that time, the temple has been known as Jada Tirtham.There is no admission fee to visit Jada Tirtham in Rameswaram, and it opens at 6:00 a.m.
