Rameswaram, a small island nestled in the Gulf of Mannar, holds a prominent position as one of the most revered Teertha Kshetras, or pilgrimage sites. At the heart of Rameswaram lies the sacred “Ramanathaswamy” or “Rameshwara” Jyotirling, an integral part of the ‘Bada Char Dham Yatra.’ According to ancient Puranic texts, embarking on a journey to Rameswaram Mukti Sthal Kshetra and taking a sacred dip in the confluence of the two seas, Mahodadhi and Ratnakara, bestows upon devotees the complete blessings and benefits akin to a pilgrimage to Varanasi’s Teertha Kshetra.
