Arulmigu Ramanathaswamy Temple - Hindu temple in Rameswaram - Ramanathapuram, India

One of the best pilgrimage sites to visit. Especially that 22 theertham bath gives a different spiritual, magnificent and peaceful feeling. But be careful while taking a bath in the sea because it is not maintained properly and contains sharp stones.

I was absolutely stunned by this ancient architectural marvel created by our ancestors. The intricacy in each corner of the temple is well taken care of. Each column is covered with intricate details carved into stones. The inner Santorum is even much more elegant than the exterior and the semi public space. The areas inside the temples are well defined by the ancient Marvels. There is a ticket system Rs. 100/- for the quick darshan which doesn't make any difference from the free darshan line though but this queue is fairly shorter than the other queues. This is an extremely large premises having 4 gopuram in all 4 directions.

Arulmigu Ramanathaswami temple is the One of the Jyotirling Mandir from 12 Jyotirling of Bharat. Rameshwaram Jyotirling Mandir as it is known to every Hindu is devoted to the Devon ke Dev Mahadev and the Jyotirling here is established by lord Ram in Treta Yug while the was about to start his battle with king of Lanka Rawan.
