Rameshwaram- The Southern India Pilgrimage Site

Rameshwaram

Rameshwaram is situated at the tip of the Indian peninsula. It is considered a sacred place for the Hindus. Legends have it that Lord Rama built a bridge across the sea from Rameshwaram to rescue his wife Sita from the clutches of the demon king Ravana. This is also the place where Rama worshipped Lord Shiva to wash away the sin of killing Ravana. It is also known as the Varanasi of South India. It is believed that Lord Rama performed thanks giving rituals to Lord Shiva after his triumph over the demon king Ravana. It happens to be one of the most visited pilgrimage sites of India.
