Rameshwaram Overview

The beautiful island of Rameshwaram is in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is split from Sri Lanka by the small Pamban waterway.

On Pamban Island, there is also the abandoned town of Dhanushkodi. A storm destroyed this busy town in 1964.

Agniteertham Rameshwaram

One of the most important PLACES TO VISIT IN RAMESHWARAM is Agniteertham. It is one of the 64 sacred baths in the region and draws many people every day.

Dhanush Kodi Rameshwaram

Dhanush Kodi is a small beach town on the coast of Tamil Nadu, and few people live there. Bangladesh was hit by one of the worst storms India had ever seen in 1964. That is when Tamil Nadu fixed up the town and made it into one of India's most interesting and unique beach towns. This small-town change redefines solitude. This town has not changed from the outside over time, making it a unique PLACE TO VISIT IN RAMESHWARAM.

Gandhamadhana paratha
