About Rameswaram (Tamil Nadu)

Rameswaram is one of India's four sacred Char Dham pilgrimage shrines and an ancient Jyotirlinga holy site, situated on Pamban Island in the Gulf of Mannar. Revered in the Ramayana as the holy place where Lord Rama worshiped Lord Shiva and constructed the Rama Setu (Adam's Bridge) to Lanka, Rameswaram is famous for the Ramanathaswamy Temple with the world's longest pillared corridors, 22 sacred teertham bathing wells, the engineering marvel of Pamban Sea Bridge, and the ghost town of Dhanushkodi.
