Legends

The mythological legends believe that the extremely powerful Hindu Goddess Durga slew the evil devil Mahishasura right in this renowned village of Rameshwaram making it a significant part of the list of best places to visit in Rameshwaram and a prime inclusion in Rameshwaram Packages.

Specifications

What makes the site extremely fascinating is that the precious nine gems placed here under the sea are visible even today. Not just Lord Rama devotees but archaeological experts, art lovers and the lovers of vintage things and gems are thrilled by the thought of visiting here and witnessing the ancient sacred beauty for themselves. However, there are still chances that the level of seawater might affect the visibility of the gems. The sea is a great site in itself with innumerable shells and things full of colourful distinct shaped shells.

Belief

Another great belief that serves as the wonderful attraction of the village is that the Hindu Lord Rama placed nine precious shining rare stones here in order to pray to the nine planets or grahas. This process has a great significance in Hindu Mythology because the prime reason for it was to seek the blessings of the entire Universe before clashing with the gifted demon Ravana. Lord Rama ended up beating Ravana in the ultimate clash which provides a unique stature to this site as a result of which the devotees of Lord Rama come here in maddening numbers every year.
