Best Places to visit in Rameshwaram
Ramanathaswamy Temple
One of India’s twelve Jyotirlinga shrines, the Ramanathaswamy Temple is a masterpiece of Dravidian architecture, dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple’s long corridors with intricately carved pillars stretch over 1,200 meters, among the longest in the world. Pilgrims perform sacred baths in 22 holy wells within the complex before offering prayers. The temple’s legend is linked to Lord Rama, who worshipped Lord Shiva here after defeating Ravana. Its rich spiritual aura and architectural grandeur make it the heart of Rameshwaram’s divine charm.
Agni Theertham
Situated right opposite the Ramanathaswamy Temple, Agni Theertham is one of the 64 sacred baths in Rameshwaram. Devotees take a dip in the calm sea here, believing it washes away sins and purifies the soul. The spot holds immense mythological significance as Lord Rama is said to have performed rituals here before his Lanka expedition. The sunrise view over the Bay of Bengal adds serenity, and the gentle waves make it one of the most peaceful beaches for a spiritual experience.
Panchamukhi Hanuman Temple
This temple is dedicated to Lord Hanuman in his rare five-faced form—Hanuman, Narasimha, Garuda, Varaha, and Hayagriva. It is said that the floating stones used to build the Ram Setu were blessed here. Inside the temple, devotees can still see a few of these floating stones, believed to be remnants of the Ramayana era. The temple’s calm atmosphere and spiritual vibration make it an essential stop for pilgrims seeking blessings of Lord Hanuman.
Dhanushkodi Beach
Known as the “Ghost Town” of India, Dhanushkodi lies at the southern tip of Rameshwaram Island. This breathtaking beach is where the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal meet. Once a bustling town, it was destroyed by a cyclone in 1964. Today, the place is a symbol of beauty and mystery, offering spectacular sea views, ruins of old churches, and tranquil sands. It is believed that Lord Rama built the Ram Setu from this very point.
APJ Abdul Kalam Memorial
This memorial honors Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the former President of India and the “Missile Man.” Located in his hometown of Rameshwaram, the monument combines Mughal and Indian architecture with exhibits of his achievements, awards, and personal belongings. Visitors can learn about his humble beginnings and immense contributions to India’s space and defense programs. The site inspires visitors to value education, hard work, and humility.
Pamban Bridge
India’s first sea bridge, Pamban Bridge connects Rameshwaram to the mainland. Built in 1914, it’s a marvel of engineering and a delight to watch when the railway bridge opens to let ships pass. The scenic drive on the adjacent road bridge offers panoramic ocean views. The blue waters, strong winds, and sight of trains moving over the sea make it a must-visit spot for travelers.
Gandhamadhana Parvatham
This ancient temple sits on Rameshwaram’s highest point and offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the island. It houses Lord Rama’s imprints on a chakra, making it a sacred pilgrimage site. It is believed Lord Rama stood here to plan his Lanka expedition. The peaceful atmosphere and gentle sea breeze provide a perfect spot for meditation and photography.
Kothandaramaswamy Temple
Located near Dhanushkodi, this temple is dedicated to Lord Rama and Goddess Sita. It is said to be the site where Vibhishana, Ravana’s brother, surrendered before Rama. The temple survived the devastating 1964 cyclone that submerged Dhanushkodi, which adds to its divine mystery. The surrounding coastal scenery enhances its spiritual ambiance.
