Rameshwaram, the sacred land where Lord Shiva resides, holds a unique place among the four Dhams. Unlike the other three, which are dedicated to Lord Vishnu or His avatars, Rameshwaram is solely dedicated to Lord Shiva. Situated on an island in the Gulf of Mannar, at the southernmost tip of the Indian Subcontinent, it holds immense spiritual significance.

Embark on the sacred journey of the Rameshwaram Dham Yatra Tour Package, offered by Shivshankar Tirth Yatra, and immerse yourself in the profound spirituality of this holy place. The temple stands on the very spot where Lord Rama, the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu, worshipped Lord Shiva before embarking on His search to save His beloved wife, Sita, from the clutches of Ravana, the king of Rakshasas.

The significance of the Rameshwaram temple goes beyond its association with Lord Rama. Firstly, it is a revered Jyotirlinga, one of the twelve sacred abodes of Lord Shiva. Additionally, the scriptures proclaim that a pilgrimage to Varanasi to seek blessings from Lord Vishwanath is complete with paying homage to Lord Ranganatha at Rameshwaram. This unique aspect of the Dham appeals to both Vaishnavites and Shaivites, making it an important pilgrimage site for devotees of both Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva.

Rameshwaram is often called the “Varanasi of the South” due to its spiritual magnificence and the divine vibrations that permeate the air. It is a place where devotees can experience the profound connection between man and the religious. The tranquil surroundings, the rhythmic chants, and the sacred rituals create an atmosphere that transcends the physical realm and transports one to a realm of spiritual awakening.

The temple has additional significance because it is, firstly, a Jyotirlinga, and secondly, it is said in the scriptures that a pilgrimage to Varanasi to pay homage to Lord Vishwanath is incomplete without also paying homage to Lord Ranganatha at Rameshwaram. The Dham is also singular in that it is an important pilgrimage place for both Vaishnavites as well as Shaivites. Rameshwaram is called the “Varanasi of the South”.

Pilgrims familiar with the “Ramayana”, written almost 3,000 years ago, find significance in many landmarks about the place. One of the most significant of these is the Gandhamardhan Parvat (a hill) on top of which Rama’s footprint is still found embedded in a rock at the topmost portion of the mountain. There are also other places of interest to the devout pilgrim and this is a favorite spot to cleanse one’s soul if one is a Hindu.

Another belief is that Lord Sri Rama earlier constructed a mythological bridge to Sri Lanka from this Rameshwaram beach.
