Raameswaram is significant for many Indians as a pilgrimage to Benaras is considered by some to be incomplete without a pilgrimage to Rameswaram. The presiding deity here is usually referred to as a Linga with the name Sri Ramanatha Swamy, it is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas.

This masterpiece of Indian architecture boasts of the biggest temple corridor in India. Different rulers built the Ramanathaswamy Temple over a period of time starting from the twelfth century.(Although this theory is devised by westerners which has been proven to be false). The temple comprises twenty two wells where the taste of the water of each well is different from the other. The grandest part of the temple is the 1219 m pillared corridor consisting of 3.6 m high granite pillars, richly carved and well proportioned. The perspective presented by these pillars run uninterruptedly to a length of nearly 230 m.
இங்குள்ள சிவன் கோயில் இந்து சமயத்தின் ஒரு முக்கிய புனித வழிபாட்டிடமாதலால் பெருமளவிலான சுற்றுலாப் பயணிகள் இங்கு வருகின்றனர். இங்கு பல தீர்த்தங்கள் ,பல கோவில்கள் அமைந்துள்ளன. புகழ் பெற்ற ஆலயங்களுள் இங்கு உள்ள ராமநாதசுவாமிஆலயமும் ஒன்று. உலகில் மிக நீண்ட பிரகாரம் என்ற பெருமையை இந்த கோவிலுக்கு உண்டு.ராமன் சீதையை மீட்க ராவணனிடம் போர் புரிந்து கொன்றான்.ராவணனை கொன்ற பாவத்தினை நீங்க ராமன் மணல்களால் ஆன லிங்கத்தை வைத்து பிரதிஷ்டை செய்தார்.எனவே ராமனே ஈஸ்வரனை வணங்கியதால் இந்நகருக்கு ராம ஈஸ்வரம் என்று பெயர் ஆனது. மக்கள் இங்கு வந்து தீர்த்தத்தில் நீராடி இறைவனை வழிபட்டால் பாவங்கள் நீங்கும் என நம்புகின்றர்.

  • i love it...this temple must be taken a good care
  • This entire temple complex was renovated and additions were made by the Ramanathapuram Sethupathi family for about 300 years. Subsequently, the temple renovation work was handed over by the Ramanathapuram Rulers to the Zamindar of Devakottai. The Devakottai Zamindar AL. AR. Ramaswamy Chettiar's four sons viz., (1) AL. AR. RM. ARUNACHALAM CEHTTIAR; (2) AL. AR. RM. CHOCKALINGAM CHETTIAR; (3) AL. AR. RM. VELLAYAN CHETTIAR; AND (4) AL. AR. RM. NARAYANAN CHETTIAR took care of the day-to-day management of the temple and renovation work simultaneously. They completed the East Raja Gopuram of the Temple, renovated the entire temple by rebuilding the brick and mortar structure into granite structure and performing consecration in 1923. Besides, they had made a lot of gold and silver vaahanaas for the annual festivals and a lot of precious jewelleery.
