Rama Theertham, Rameswaram
The Rama
Theertham has been built on the Gandhamadhana Parvata and is henceforth also
known as the Gandamadana. The Rama Theertham is situated on an island and is
believed to be the most blessed place for pilgrim in South India.
The
temple has a chakra where there are imprints of Lord Rama and on that chakra
those impressions have been carved really well. This place a bit distanced from
Dhanushkodi, that is the place where Rama and Vibishana met and both these
places have an individual history which is fairly unique to them that makes
these places a must visit.
The
temple is surrounded by a pleasant hilly region that acts as a tourist
attraction for this place. So while one is on a religious trip, one can also
indulge in the scenic beauty of the place as well that is very pleasing and
captivating and visit another good place located close. Just like the Seetha Theertham
Rama Theertham is known for its significance of Dharmarajan getting rid of his
sin saying a lie.
Rama Theertham is
the place where Lord Ramachandra took rest for a while on his way to Lanka.
This is close to Rameswaram temple about 1 km walk from Rameswaram Temple.

see a piece of floating stone near the temple. There is a Shiva temple nearby.
