Rameshwaram

Journey to the Sacred Shores of Rameshwaram

Located on Pamban Island at the tip of Tamil Nadu, Rameshwaram is one of India’s holiest pilgrimage sites. Renowned for its pristine temples, tranquil beaches and mythic associations with the Ramayana, this island town offers a blend of devotion and coastal serenity.

An Island Steeped in Legend

According to legend, Lord Rama built a bridge from here to Lanka to rescue Sita, making Rameshwaram a central chapter in the Ramayana. The town’s centerpiece, Ramanathaswamy Temple, features the world’s longest temple corridor and 22 holy “tīrthas” (tank baths) believed to wash away sins.

Must-See Temples & Coastal Gems

Start at Ramanathaswamy Temple with its towering gopurams and intricate mandapams. Visit Agni Theertham beach just east of the temple for a cleansing dip. Explore the coral-stone sculptures at the nearby Dhanushkodi ruins, and climb the Pamban Bridge for panoramic sea views.
