Here, in the time of legends, Lord Rama arrived while searching for Sita, his beloved queen who had been abducted by Ravana, the demon king of Lanka. Rama Worshipped Shiva and Durga here, praying for victory and build a Ramsetu, the bridge to Lanka. Sacred Rameshwaram was thus santified by the prescence of Rama, the Seventh avtar of Vishnu.It is the tirath where Rama build a shrine to Shiva, the ancient Ramanathaswamy Tample. Rameshwaram resonates with the legends of Rama and the presence of a holy Jyotirlingam makes it even more sacred.
