Kothandaramaswamy Temple:
Another famous temple at Rameshwaram is the Kothandaramaswamy Temple, which has idols of Rama, Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman and Vibhishan- all central characters of the epic Ramayana.
Kurusadai Island:
Close to Rameshwaram is the Kurusadai Island, one of a cluster of 16 islands in the region. The waters surrounding the islands are a biological paradise with rich and rare marine life and coral reefs.
Dhanushkodi
If time permits, try to visit Dhanushkodi at the tip of Rameshwaram islands. Here the waters of the Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean meet. Bathing at this place is considered very auspicious by the Hindus.
Rameshwaram is also a place from where the ferry to Sri Lanka (Talaimannar) departs.
