Ramanathaswamy Temple
Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu, India
The Ramanathaswamy Temple is a revered Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, in his form as Ramanathaswamy. It is one of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines, highly sacred abodes of Shiva. Legend has it that Lord Rama worshipped Lord Shiva here after defeating Ravana in Lanka, to absolve himself of the sin of killing a Brahmin. The temple's origins are ancient, with significant contributions and expansions by various rulers, including the Pandya, Jaffna Kings, and Sethupathy dynasties, particularly between the 12th and 16th centuries. The temple is renowned for its magnificent architecture, especially its long corridors. The outer corridor is the longest among all Hindu temples in India, stretching for about 1220 meters (almost 4000 feet) with intricately carved pillars. The temple complex houses numerous shrines, including those dedicated to Goddess Parvati as Parvatavardhini, Lord Vishnu as Sethumadhava, and various other deities. The twenty-two holy water bodies (theerthams) within the temple complex are considered sacred, and pilgrims take ritualistic dips in them. The Spatika Lingam, a crystal lingam, is another significant feature, with special early morning darshans. The annual Brahmotsavam festival is a major event here, attracting thousands of devotees.
