📍 About Rameshwaram — what to see and what not to miss

Located on an island in Tamil Nadu, Rameshwaram is an important pilgrimage destination known for its spiritual traditions and unique coastal setting. At its centre stands the expansive Ramanathaswamy Temple, famous for its long outer corridors and 22 wells where pilgrims take ritual baths. Entering the island across the Pamban Bridge provides sweeping views across the ocean waters. Further east, visitors can explore Dhanushkodi beach and ruins, where the tragic remains of an abandoned cyclone-hit town meet the sea. The area is also home to the Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Memorial, built to honour the inspiring life and achievements of the former Indian president. Together, these distinct landmarks offer travellers a blend of rich religious heritage, historic interest, and striking marine landscapes.
