About the temple

The Ramanathaswamy Temple in Rameswaram is one of India's twelve sacred Jyotirlingas, dedicated to Lord Shiva. According to tradition, Lord Rama established and worshipped the lingam here before crossing to Lanka, making it a cornerstone of Hindu pilgrimage. The shrine draws devotees through the day for darshan and aarti, with the atmosphere reaching its peak during the evening rituals and on festival days when special pujas are performed.
