Rameswaram - இராமேஸ்வரம்


A small pilgrim island in the Gulf of Mannar. Although each of these destinations offer unique attractions, there is one common thread they all share besides being located in Tamilnadu. Namely the fact that all three places are a living testament to the splendors of Indian heritage. BE it religion, history or culture, together they present a bouquet constituting all that India has to be proud of as the world's oldest civiiization.

This small island in the Gulf of mannar is a holy pilgrimage with great mythological significance to Lord Rama. But that's not all, beautiful picnic spot, virgin beaches, exotic bird life, coral reef, scuba diving and more, all these awaits you at Rameswaram. The holy island of Rameswaram is known for one of India's most venerated and most visited Shiva shrines, dedicated to Sri Ramanathaswamy. It is so intimately associated with the life of Sri Rama, the hero of the epic Ramayana, that both Saivites and Vaishnavites consider every grain of Rameswaram's sand very sacred.
