Agni Teertha
Agni Teertha a large tank of Ramayana fame. It is here lady Sita asked Lord Lakshman to light a fire and sat inside it to prove her purity. Agni Theertham holds a significant place among devotees as those who visit here cab offer their prayers and atone for their sins by bathing in its holy waters. It is also visited by childless couples. A holy dip in this theertham along with prayers to Lord Shiva is expected to bless them with children. There are 22 Theerthams or holy water bodies, inside the temple where devotees bathe to atone for their sins. Each of these water bodies represent the 22 arrows in Rama’s quiver. Each of the water bodies has a special significance for devotees.
Ramanathaswamy Temple
. As per legend Lord Ram visited here to pray to Lord Shiva to atone for sins committed during the great war of Ramayana. The temple dates back to the 12th century and its long corridor is adorned with aesthetically carved pillars. We will pay our respects to the main deity who is worshipped here in the form of 2 lingams. One lingam is made of sand and was made by Lady Sita while the other was brought from mount Kailash by Hanuman.
World's longest corridor
After visiting the deities in the temple, we will end the walk at the longest temple corridor in the world. The third corridor of this temple has more than a thousand pillars and is a magnificent sight. It was built in the late eighteenth century by Muthuramalinga Setupati. The corridor has impressive proportions. It measures 640 feet in the north and south, 400 feet in the west and east and is nearly 7 metres tall.
Kothandaramaswamy Temple
This temple is more than a thousand years old and is dedicated to Lord Ram. It is on an island and surrounded by the Bay of Bengal and Gulf of Mannar. As per legend it was in this temple that Vibhishanan, the younger brother of Ravana surrendered to Lord Rama, who later crowned the former to rule Sri Lanka.
Ram Sethu Bridge
