Rameshwaram is a cordial town with a rich history. The town is predominantly associated with lord Rama, its city streets speak of stories and legends of times when great warriors lived and the whole town worships Ramanathaswamy, Swami of Ram, Lord Shiva.
Ramanathaswamy Temple
Sri Arulmigu Ramanathaswamy Temple is a sacred pilgrimage site and part of the Char Dham in Hindu culture. The imposing structure, long corridors and carved pillars of the temple are adorned with intricate sculptural works and colourful kamalam (lotus) art on the ceiling which attracts a lot of tourists. The temple has two Shiv lingams which have an interesting story behind it. The temple is built in Dravidian style, the precinct is surrounded by four enclosures, with twin Gopurams located on the East and the West. The temple is a staple in our Mumbai to Rameshwaram tour package and a trip to Rameshwaram is not complete without a visit to Ramanathawamy Temple.
Dhanushkodi Temple and Beach
Dhanushkodi is an old abandoned town which was once a flourishing trade centre near Rameshwaram. In 1964, the town was hit by one of the worst cyclones that wiped out most of the population and infrastructure with it. Since then, Dhanushkodi has been declared unfit for habitation. But that does not take away tourist’s interest in the town. Cut off from the rest of the world, Dhanushkodi seems frozen in history. It has a beautiful beach and ruins of a once glorious temple. When crafting the perfect itinerary for your Rameshwaram tour from Mumbai, we make sure to provide a first-hand experience of Dhanushkodi and its crumbling ruins, sandy beaches and pristine beauty.
Agnitheertham
The town of Rameshwaram consists of several theertham or holy water bodies which are a major pilgrim destination for Hindu devotees. Out of 64 theertham located in and around the holy sanctum of Ramanathaswamy Temple, bathing in the Agnitheertham is considered customary before setting foot inside the temple. The theertham has also been mentioned in many sacred Hindu texts including the Skanda Purana, Narada Purana and Sethu Purana.
Lakshamana Tirtham
Located close to Ramanathswamy Temple, Lakshmana Theertham is a sacred pond. Constructed in the memory of Lakshaman, brother of Lord Rama, this Thirtham holds a lot of significance. The holy pond is decorated during the Thai Possam festival celebrated in the months of January and February. The temple is home to several sculptures of Lord Lakshmana, Lord Rama and his lady consort Goddess Sita. The simplicity of this Tirtham is what makes it one of the most coveted places to add to your Rameshwaram package from Mumbai.
Villoondi Tirtham
Located a short distance away from Rameshwaram, Villoondi Tirtham has only recently become a popular place to visit. In addition to its spiritual significance, the calm shoreline of the titham offers the most stunning views of the sea. Located a few metres from the shore, a long platform leads to a holy well. Mysteriously, despite being surrounded by salt sea water, the water in the well is the sweetest. Today, Villoondi Tirtham is frequented by a large number of devotees and travellers and is a must-visit destination during your Rameshwaram trip from Mumbai.
Arichal Munai
Arichal Munai, also known as the Kanyakumari Point is the southernmost tip of the Indian mainland. This historical landmark is a popular tourist attraction to include during your sightseeing when taking a Rameshwaram tour from Mumbai. The point can be seen from Dhanushkodi and is popular for its stunning views of setting sun.
Pamban Bridge
Connecting the town of Rameshwaram on the Pamban Island with Mandapam on the Indian mainland is Pamban Railway Bridge. The bridge is the longest bay bridge in India. Running along the railway bridge is a well-constructed road bridge - Annai Indira Gandhi Road Bridge which has played a significant role in facilitating trade between the town islands. A train ride over the rail bridge is an exhilarating experience and a must-include adventure during your Rameshwaram vacation from Mumbai.
Besides the places mentioned here, several other prominent attractions including Ram Setu or Adam’s Bridge, Five-Faced Hanuman Temple, Gandhamadhna Parvatham, House of Kalam, Kunthu Kal Beach and Water Bird Sanctuary make Rameshwaram a popular destination to visit from Mumbai.
Best Time to Take a Rameshwaram trip from Mumbai
There is something magnetic about this town that calls to every person. Because of its ideal location on the coast, Rameshwaram experiences tropical weather most of the year. With the pleasant breeze from the sea, occasional wet weather and cosy winter evenings, you can plan a Rameshwaram vacation from Mumbai any time of the year.
However, our guests especially love visiting during winter and early spring - typically from October to March.
This period offers a glimpse into the true beauty of Rameshwaram. The beautiful coastal region is dotted with beaches and comfortable and cool mornings offering some relief from the constant humidity of shoulder seasons. Another highlight during these months is the many festivities that happen across Rameshwaram such as the Kanda Sashti festival which begins on the New Moon Day of Aippasi, Arudra Darshanam in December, Masi Mahotsavam and Thirukalyanam Festival.
Since October to March is pretty much the peak season in Rameshwaram, we suggest our guests book their Rameshwaram tour packages from Mumbai well in advance to get the best deals.
