Rameshwaram Travel
Rameswaram Introduction is
hallowed by the epic Ramayana. A devout Hindu who visits Varanasi is expected
to visit Rameswaram also for the culmination of his quest for salvation. Rama
sanctified this place by worshipping Lord Siva after the war against Ravana.
Therefore, it is held sacred by Saivites and Vaishnavites as well. It is one
of the major marine food centres in the south, much of its fish and prawn
catch being exported.
