It is known to be a very famous area and it’s considered to be a Hindu pilgrimage spot.

Rameshwaram temple comes into Char Dhams of Hindus, so devotee of Lord Shiva; people come here from

all over the world every year to obtain Moksha on dying.

The Rameshwaram jyotirlinga is one of the most famous linga in the country.

Although there are lot of facts which a traveller should know prior to visiting this place.

This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and was built in the 17^th century and the construction has been done

in Dravidian style and it’s very quiet and peaceful like another religious place.

RAMESHWARAM LORD SHIVA TEMPLE

The Devotee can get the darshan of Spatika lingam only during

the early morning time from 5:00 AM to 6:00 AM; you have to be in the queue

as early as 4:00 AM and then 12:00 Noon to 1:00 PM, If you want to

do some rituals pujas according to your customs it can be also done in a different time.

But for the Rameshwaram temple darshan timings, you should follow the above timings

The temple is one out of the 12 jyotirlinga temple, where devotees do puja of Shiva

in the form of Jyotirling.  Although Rameshwaram is a great place for an experience.

Being a religious place, there are other places also to visit who can make interest to non-devotee people,

as like amazing Museum, beautiful beaches, local food and shopping stalls and many more things

Apart from this if you can see Adam’s Bridge or Rameshwaram Bridge which

is known us to be as Ram Setu Bridge, according to our Hindu mythology

Lord Rama built this with the help of Vanar’s to get Sita from Raven’s Kingdom.

In fact, the word Rameshwara means the place where Eshwar puja done

by Lord Rama and this is how this place gets his name.

As Mythology believed that the Rameshwaram was the area

where Lord Rama marked to apologize about his immortality

and want to give self-punishment for killing Brahmin king Ravana. Lord Rama wanted

to construct the huge Shivalinga and for the same

he told Hanuman to get the linga from the Himalayas but unfortunately

it took time and meanwhile, Sita constructed

the Shivalinga and this linga are still kept in the Ramanathaswamy Temple.

RAMESHWARAM’S IMPORTANT HISTORY ROLE

Rameshwaram has an important role in Indian history while doing trading Business through other locations

This place was a halt for the traders to Sri Lanka whose earlier name was Ceylon.

History says that the Jaffna ruler took control

of this place and called themselves Sethukavalan and called the guardian of Rameshwaram.

The Khilji family of Delhi is also associated with the ancient time

of Rameshwaram The Malik Kafur who was the head

of Alauddin Khilji army also came to Rameshwaram and another kingdom army

couldn’t able to stop him, to show his arrival presence in

Rameshwaram built the Alia Al-Din Khalji mosque. In 16^th century

this place came under the control of the Vijayanagara ruler

and till 1795 British East India Company comes into the rule of Rameshwaram.

The incursion into Rameshwaram daily culture still can be seen easily

and it reflects in their building planning also.

PLACES TO VISIT IN RAMESHWARAM AND DHANUSHKODI

1) SRI RAMANATHASWAMY TEMPLE

Sri Ramanathaswamy Temple is biggest reason to get more visitors to Rameshwaram.

Apart of this temple there are other temples too, but it’s a milestone

in the past of the town, the reason it’s located in the mid of Rameshwaram.

This temple belongs to Lord Shiva and every year Lord Shiva lover’s visit temple in lakhs;

The temple has respect due to its one of the twelve jyotirlingas in the nation. Devotees admire Lord Shiva

in this temple as a Jyotirling. His sculpture Puja is not done in these temples.

The temple is very old constructed by Pandya ruler’s in the 12^th century, but after looking it

in the current time, it’s hard to believe it’s constructed century time.

The craft and the planning of the temple is a spectacle in themselves. We should not forget

the main reason; a hundred thousand Devotee’s reaching

this place every year consistently it’s just because of the Hindu religion.

2) ADAM’S BRIDGE

This Bridge is also called as Rama Setu Bridge; this Bridge

was constructed with the help of Vanar’s army called

as intelligent warrior monkeys, led by the Nile and under the engineering direction

of Naal this bridge was constructed in Lanka in five days only.

These warriors assist Lord Rama to get Sita back from Ravan’s kingdom. Ram Setu is a historical bridge

that connects Rameshwaram Island or Pamban Island of India to the north-western coast of Sri Lanka.

This Bridge is actually a way, which is made up

of sedimentary rocks that gives connectivity between Indian Pamban Island

which is situated in South coast of Tamil Nadu and Mannar Island on North West coat of Sri Lanka.
