World's Longest Temple Corridor-Rameswaram Temple
anilpradhanshillong Says: A visit to Rameswaram temple would take at least half a day, especially if you wish to take the obligatory religious bath at the various wells. If you desire to visit Danushkodi also, set aside a full day. In between, you could squeeze in a quick look at the other temples...
anilpradhanshillong Says: About 3 kms from the Ramaswamy Temple is the Gandhamandana Parvatham, the highest point in the island. Climb up to the terrace and a wonderful sight awaits you as the entire island is visible from this vantage point. You can watch the greenery and in the distance, the mighty...
anilpradhanshillong Says: Barely 12 kms from the Ramaswamy Temple is the Kothanda Ramar Temple, a sub-temple of the Ramaswamy Temple where, the Ramayan say, the brother of the demon king, Ravana, Vibhishana, surrendered to Lord Rama. Surrounded by sand on all sides, there are steep steps leading up...
anilpradhanshillong Says: The two beaches, Ariaman and Vallinokkam are both virgin territory. The former is on the Palk Bay side where the waters are calmer as is about 30 kms from Rameswaram. The latter is 37 kms via Erwadi on the Ramanathapuram-Sayalkudi Tuticorin National Highway and thereafter, a...
anilpradhanshillong Says: The Panchamuka Hanuman Temple is located only 2 kms from the Ramaswamy Temple. The idols of Hanuman, Lord Rama and Sita were re-located here after the devastating cyclone of 1964 at Dhanushkodi. An example of the ‘floating’ stone used by Hanuman to build the bridge...
anilpradhanshillong Says: Dhanushkodi is a mere strip of land barely 1 kms wide and 20 kms long. It is roughly 3 kms from the Rameswaram Temple. It may be reached by boat or by surface transport or, if you prefer the mightiness of the ocean, by walking. Its barrenness was further exacerbated by the...
msforbes Says: at last, i made it, and here's the photo, the start of adam's bridge, where the gulf of mannar, and the palk stait meet.
yumiyun Says: Locate adjacent from the temple containing floating stones, a small water tank is located here where Sita has taken a bath.
yumiyun Says: The longest bridge of India connecting the Rameswaram island with the Indian subcontinent. Below the 2.2 km bridge is a parallel railway. The view from the bridge is magnificient as well - clear blue water and lush green lagoons. This area is also acclaimed for marine...

yumiyun Says: Street vendors in Rameswaram sells lots of cucumbers, tender coconuts and pinapples. In this hot weather, they can be really refreshing.
yumiyun Says: If you plan to visit Rameswaram on your own, take the train. Entering Rameswaram, the train runs on a bridge over the sea to reach this island. It also runs just beneath the famous Pamba bridge. The sea view of Rameswaram is so beautifu, it can give you a feeling of flying...
yumiyun Says: The street leading from the beach (Agni Theertham) to Ramanatha Swamy Temple are filled with shops. All of them more or less carry similar products, most popular being shell product like mirror, key chain etc. There are some beautiful necklace, earings and ring set made of...
msforbes Says: There is a main temple dominating the centre of town. I didn't take a photo, don't know why it just didn't feel right. Here's a shot just in front, then off to a bit of the temple.
msforbes Says: This is for all of india (or from what i've seen of the country). in india haggling like a lot of the world is the norm. most indians know how much it cost for you to arrive in the country and find it pathetic the way we haggle. the price they give you is the same price they...
tayloretc Says: I can’t believe I’m writing another entry on grass that hurts. This stuff won’t make you pass out, but it will leave you with lots of long, thin cuts on your feet and ankles, which hurt, and which will then hurt very much when you step into the sea. Since it grows in clumps,...
yumiyun Says: As soon as you reach Ramanatha Swamy Temple, a guide or two will approach you to take you around the temple. The guide will have a small bucket to which he will bring you all the 22 holy waters in the temple. But, they will ask for a huge fee for it. Unless you want to...
yumiyun Says: If you plan to have a holy water bathe like a devoted Hindu at Ramanatha Swamy Temple, be sure to bring a set of dry clothes with you. You will be soaked from head to toe.
something i stumbled across on the way
msforbes Says: This is a monument I stumbled along the way it is called a lingam, and it is in tribute to Shiva's p*nis. Thankyou, Jessicadf
yumiyun Says: A small temple on the way to Gandamadana Parvatham. The temple is believed to be constructed over the spot where Hanuman reported to Rama on finding Sita with her jewelry as an evidence.
yumiyun Says: One day is sufficient to see all the known temples of Rameswaram. The easiest thing is to sign up for a tour - daily trip from Madurai to Rameswaram is avaialble for approx. Rs. 200 per head. It helps to know a little about Indian epic of "Ramayana" since all the temples in...
