Exploring Rameshwaram: Where Spirituality Meets Serenity

The most prominent pilgrimage site in the nation is Rameshwaram, which is situated in Tamil Nadu's southern region. Since Lord Rama, the protagonist of the epic Ramayana, performed the Poojas and rituals to the presiding god at this temple, it's thought to be the most valuable in all of Rameshwaram.
