Day 66. Legacy- 3

Sri Ramanathaswamy Temple,Rameshwaram  located at the southern tip of India is an imposing temple structure dedicated to Lord Shiva.  This is one of  the 12 Jyotir Lingas.

There are many legends about the temple. First and foremost, it is believed that Lord Sri Rama consecrated the temple before his visit to Lanka to free Sita Devi from the clutches of Ravana.

The temple is visited by  many from all over the country. It is located at an isolated place and one has to  cross a long bridge (by  road /rail). The railway bridge was washed away a few decades back and then re-built.

The temple houses many deities, main being Lord Shiva. There is a Spadika Lingam, darshan of which is available in the early morning only. The temple has huge corridors studded  with stone pillars, which are worth seeing.

 The temple complex has many wells, having different flavours of theertham. Devotees take bath from the waters of different wells as part of their pilgrimage/ rituals.

All in all Rameswaram temple will give great  tranquillity to both eyes and mind.

A must see temple for any devotee.

Be happy .Be safe.

  1. I visited this temple long back in 1982 when I took bath in 21 wells before taking Lord Shiva darshan.
