Rameshwaram, the land of Lord Rama, is not only Tamil Nadu’s main pilgrimage town, but also one of the Char Dhams (four pilgrimage spots) in India that attracts millions of devotees every year.

Sri Ramanathaswamy temple is regarded with high significance even in holy scripture of Hindu religion. It is associated with Lord Rama and his successful rescuising of Goddess Sita after killing demon Ravana as while on their way back to Ayodhya, it is here that Lord Rama had worshipped Lord Shiva.

The temple was built by rulers since the 12th century with Sethupathy Maravar.

In the Ramayana, this is the site from where the monkey army began to build the Ram Setu to reach Ravana’s Lanka.
It is believed that, No Hindu’s journey is complete without a pilgrimage to both Varanasi and Rameswaram for the culmination of his quest for salvation.

But what makes this temple particularly interesting is its very, very long corridors. Its outer set of corridors is 6.9 m in height and stretches for 400 feet to the west and as many feet to the east and some 640 feet to the north and south. This makes the Ramanathaswamy temple's corridor the longest in the world. What makes the corridor even more awesome is the fact that it is held by some 1,212 pillars, each of them measuring 30 feet in height with most having compositions carved on them.

The temple has 22 theerthams (or tanks) where devotees bathe before paying their respects to the presiding deity and is also home to Spatika lingam that is believed to be one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of the world.
is said that Swamy Vivekananda offered prayers at this temple in 1897.

Rameswaram was one of the last stops of Rama and Lakshmana in the Indian peninsula before they constructed a bridge to cross over to Lanka and battle Ravana. On his way back, having defeated Ravana and rescued Sita, Rama stopped by again to seek forgiveness from Shiva for having killed a bramhin (Ravana). Since Rameswaram didn't have any lingams, he dispatched Hanumana to get one for him. With time running out and no sign of Hanumana returning, Rama followed the advice of the elders and requested Sita to create a lingam out of sand. Meanwhile, Hanumana returned with a lingam from Mount Kailasa and was upset at seeing Rama worshiping another one. Rama assured Hanumana that he would worship the one he brought first. Thus, even though the temple has two lingams, the vishwalingam receives preferential treatment to this day.

History behind the Floating Stone Bridge: Legend has it that Hanuman and his monkey army created a bridge to cross the Indian Ocean and reach Lanka for Lord Rama to rescue his wife from Ravana. This bridge is said to be made of floating stones, hence the name. This bridge can be seen between India and Sri Lanka from Rameshwaram.

The Kapaleeshwar temple in Mylapore, Chennai, India is a very ancient temple.
The orginal temple was submerged under the sea and the current temple structure was a later constructed.

Kapaleeswarar temple was built in the 7th century by the Pallava Nayanmars. Nayanmars are said to be the devotees of Lord Shiva who worship him by singing hymns in the temple. They are more powerful such that whatever they desire, that will be fulfilled easily. The Kapaleeswarar temple is built in such a way that it is made very attractive for the people who visit the temple. Kapaleeswarar temple is the biggest temple in the Chennai. It was built in such a way that it becomes one of the biggest attractions for the devotees. The view of the temple from outside will be very excellent to see. There is also a Pond in the temple which is known as the Kolam or Theertham which is useful for sacred activities. Some people also consider taking bath in that Kolam or Theertham as a sacred thing.

This temple is built based on the Dravidian style in which the Gopurams are situated along the streets and the main temple is sitting inside the gopurams. There are basically two gopurams making two particular entrances to the temple. The height of the temple is about 40m and the gopuram that is present in the western side faces the Theppakulam or the so called tank of the temple.

History behind the temple,
Mother Uma wanted to know the full meaning of the five lettered Mantra " Na Ma Shi Va Ya " and the glory of the sacred ash .She begged Lord Shiva to teach Her on these topics .While Lord was teaching Her, Mother Uma was attracted by the beauty of a peacock dancing before Her. Lord, for Her inattention, cursed Her to become a peacock. For relief from the curse, He advised Her to go to Earth and perform penance on Him. Mother Uma worshipped the Shivalinga under the Punnai tree in this place .Moved by Her penance, Lord appeared before Her and and confirmed Her release from the curse and named Her Karpagavalli. As requested by Mother Karpagavalli, Lord approved the name of the place Mayilai-now Mylapore.
