• You might have heard this rhyme in your
  kindergarten classes and one such place where you
  get to see water everywhere is Rameshwaram.
• Located on the Pamban Island on the tip of the
  Indian Peninsula, this place is surrounded by
  water on all its side and is connected to the
  landmass by the Pamban Bridge.
• It is also the closest point to reach Sri Lanka
  that covers approximately 40kms and is considered
  as one of the holiest cities for the Hindus
  besides Varanasi.

• The ideal cause for making this place a desirable
  pilgrimage spot is coz of the existence of
  Ramanathaswamy Temple and the Ram Setu.
• Ram Setu, also called as Adams Bridge or the
  Floating Bridge is a bridge constructed by Lord
  Ramas monkey army, Vanara for rescuing his wife
  Sita from the evil Ravana.
• Though it stands as an epic, even today satellite
  images depict the existence of such bridge
  connecting the Mannar Island of Sri Lanka and
  Rameshwaram.

• Have you ever wondered why was this place named
  Rameshwaram? Well, in Sanskrit, it means the Lord
  of Rama and yes this place is indeed marked very
  holy because of the temple dedicated to Lord
  Shiva.
• After killing the Brahmin king, Ravana, Lord
  Rama, Sita, and Lakshman wanted to absolve sins
  that they would have committed during the war
  against the demon king. So, they installed and
  worshiped a Lingam here.

• Thus, this point has attracted many Hindus
  nationwide to visit and take a dip in this
  auspicious place to absolve the sins they have
  committed.
• When you are here dont forget to drive towards
  Kathadi, a town in the Pamban district that is
  famous for Sea Kayaking, Stand Up Paddle Boating,
  Snorkeling and Swimming.
