Rameshwaram Travel
Rameswaram 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.
