|
| § Sri Ramanatha Temple |
|
The temple of Sri Ramanatha , which has over the centuries grown into its present gigantic dimensions, stands on the eastern shore of an island, which is shaped like a conch, which Lord Vishnu bears in one of His hands. No field is ploughed or oil presses any where in the island. A magnificent railway bridge, over a kilometer long and constructed at the beginning of the twentieth century, connects it with the mainland.

| § Agni Theertham |
|
Sri Ramanathaswamy temple faces east. The seashore, about 100 metres from the main entrance of the temple, is very calm and therefore ideal for bathing. The water at this place is considered sacred and known as 'Agni Theertham'. Pillgrims perform poojas for their ancestors at this seashore.

|
|
| § Adam's Bridge |
|
Adam's Bridge is the name given to the chain of reefs, sandbanks and islets that almost connects Sri Lanka with India . According to legend, this is the series of stepping stones used by Hanuman to follow Ravana, in his bid to rescue Sita.

| § Beach |
|
Dhanushkodi is the best. Closer to town, try the one in front of the Hotel Tamil Nadu. Most of the time, you'll have it to yourself as the pilgrims prefer to do their auspicious wading at Agni Theertham, the seashore closest to the temple.

|
| § Gandhamadana Parvatam |
|
The stepped mandapam or hall, about a mile and a half west of the Ramanathaswamy Temple offers an excellent view of the countryside. There is a footprint here believed to be of Lord Rama.
