Travelogue - Rameshwaram To Kanyakumari
Travelogue - Rameshwaram To Kanyakumari
The temple is located in the middle of a small town and has a tall
gopuram painted in while, shining brilliantly in the bright sun, striking
against the blue sky. Inside the temple are 22 thirthams and it’s a
must for one to bath in all the 22 thirthams, having not done that the
darshan at the temple is considered incomplete. One’s to hire a guide
and some locals to help you with the bath in all 22 thirthams there,
charging a minimal sum per head. In the temple there are over 1200
gigantic pillars, each one having carved out of single rock look stunning
and the roof’s painted in contrasting colours. One has to visit both
Shiva and Thayar (Ammbal) in the temple; we were right on time
before the closing of temple for noon.
After visiting the temple we decided to go to Danuskodi next, but
before that we had our lunch in a fine Bengali restaurant there. The
road to Danuskodi was incredibly awesome. There were trees on both
side of the road, and we could also see the sea on both sides. The wind
blowing through our hair, the drive to Danushkodi was truly
mesmerizing. There were walls being constructed on both sides at
some places to stop the water and sand coming to roads.
