It is also one of the twelve Jyotirlinga temples. It is one of the 275 Paadal Petra Sthalams, where three of the most revered Nayanars (Saivite saints), Appar, Sundarar and Tirugnana Sambandar, have glorified the temple with their songs. The temple was expanded during the 12th century by the Pandya Dynasty, and its principal shrine’s sanctum was renovated by Jeyaveera Cinkaiariyan and his successor Gunaveera Cinkaiariyan, monarchs of the Jaffna kingdom. The temple has the longest corridor among all Hindu temples in India. It was built by King Muthuramalinga Sethupathiy. The temple, located in Rameswaram, is considered a holy pilgrimage site for Shaivites, Vaishnavites and Smarthas. Mythological accounts depict the presiding deity, the Lingam of Ramanathaswamy (Shiva), as having been established and worshiped by Rama, before he crossed his bridge to the present-day island of Sri Lanka.About the Temple:Location: Ramanathaswamy Jyotirlinga Temple Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu 623526Country: IndiaNearest Airport: Madurai Airport(IXM)Built-In: 17th centuryBuilt-By: Pandya and Jaffna kingsDeity: Ramanadhaswamy (Shiva) Parvatavardini (Parvati)Architectural Styles: Tamil architectureTemple Timings: 4:30am–1pm, 3–8:30pmFestivals: Maha ShivaratriBest Time To Visit: October to April You Might Also Like Pithapuram (Andhra Pradesh) Srisailam (Andhra Pradesh) Kanipakam Vinayaka Temple, Chittoor Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga in Maharashtra Share 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail The Source Follow Author previous post Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga in Maharashtra next post Nageshwar Jyotirlinga in Dwarka, Gujarat You may also like Bookmark Jillellamudi 8 months ago Bookmark Vitthal Temple, Pandharpur – Maharashtra 8 months ago Bookmark Lakshmi Narasimhar Temple, Narasinghapuram – Tamil Nadu 8 months ago Bookmark Koodal Azhagar Temple, Madurai – Tamil Nadu 8 months ago Bookmark Dwarkadhish Temple, Dwarka – Gujarat 8 months ago Bookmark Bhadrachalam Temple, – Telangana 8 months ago Leave a Comment Cancel Reply Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
