TOP 5 PLACES TO VISIT IN RAMESHWARAM
Om Namah Shivaye! Om Namah Shivaye! The chant kept ringing in my ears, mind and soul as we headed for Rameshwaram. One of the Char Dham which I was longing for almost 25 years, visited recently. The Ramanathaswamy temple, one of the Char Dhams ( pilgrimages), is also one of the 12 Jyotirlingas in India. For any Lord Shiva deity, this is one of the must-do places in India. My interest was in its historic, mythological, archaeological and architectural stories which left me spellbound after visiting the temple. I was keen on the top 5 places to visit in Rameshwaram.
Several stories, beliefs and shreds of evidence of Ramayana, Lord Rama and his visit to Lanka to rescue his wife Sita from the clutches of Ravana is what I took back home. If one is a strong believer, 64 Teerthams ( holy places) are to be visited while in Rameshwaram. People believe in offering prayers at all the 64 teerthams along with offering prayers in the main temple. There are 22 holy water teerthams in Ramanathaswamy Temple itself. But there is a lot more in Rameshwaram to see and experience which was not on my to-do list but still managed to tick it off.
