It is one of the twelve Jyotirlinga temples where devotees offer prayers after bathing in the sacred 22 theerthams. The intricate carvings and massive towers are a sight to behold for every traveler.
- Dhanushkodi: Located at the southern tip of Rameswaram island, this ghost town offers a surreal experience where the Bay of Bengal meets the Indian Ocean. Destroyed in the 1964 cyclone, the ruins of the church and railway station stand as silent witnesses to the past. It provides a breathtaking view of the vast sea and the submerged Rama Setu.
- Agni Theertham: This is the most sacred beach in Rameshwaram, located right outside the main temple entrance. Pilgrims believe that bathing in these calm waters washes away sins before they enter the sanctum sanctorum. The beach is also a popular spot for performing ancestral rites and watching the sunrise.
- Pamban Bridge: An architectural landmark, this railway bridge connects the town of Mandapam in mainland India with Rameswaram Island. It was India’s first sea bridge and offers a panoramic view of the turquoise ocean as trains pass over the turbulent waters. Walking or driving on the adjacent road bridge provides excellent photography opportunities.
- APJ Abdul Kalam Memorial: This beautifully constructed memorial honors the life and achievements of India’s former President, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. It houses a vast collection of his personal belongings, models of rockets, and paintings depicting his life journey. The site is a great source of inspiration for students and tourists alike.
