Rameswaram:
This is one of the most sacred pilgrim centres in India. Hindus have a belief that pilgrimage to such holy places helps them in attaining “Mukthi”. Rameswaram has a rich history and the places likely to be visited are the theerthams, Pamban Bridge and Dhanuskodi. The deity here is Lord Shiva in the name Ramanathaswamy. Legends say that Lord SriRam before annihilating demon Ravana, worshipped the God here and that Lingam is known as “Ramalinga”. After this, SriRam and his monkey troops built a bridge out of stones, crossed the sea and reached Sri Lanka.
