Madurai to Rameswaram – Sacred Island Pilgrimage
Following breakfast, depart your Madurai hotel and proceed to Rameswaram, India's most sacred town and Char Dham centre of pilgrimage. Holy island, half-way between earth and sea off Pamban Bridge, which according to legend was not present, is particularly mythological and sacred, mostly from India's larger epic Ramayana.
Upon arrival, acquaint yourself to divine peace with a tour of the renowned Sri Ramanathaswamy Temple, the Lord Rama Temple. This temple marvel is renowned for India's longest temple corridor, elaborately carved columns, and holy water tanks (Theerthams). It is said that Lord Rama prayed to Lord Shiva here to purify himself of the guilt of having killed Ravana, a Brahmin by birth.
As you stroll along the long corridors of the temple and being impressed with the beautiful sculptures, become immersed in the spiritual atmosphere that makes Rameswaram a sacred pilgrim destination for tourists as well as pilgrims.
