A Divya Desam near Rameswaram believed to mark the site where Rama camped and prayed before beginning the construction of Ram Setu, the bridge to Lanka described in the Ramayana.
Dating traditions place the temple's construction around the 8th century CE, developed in this significant coastal stretch of Tamil Nadu closely associated with the climactic events of the Ramayana near Rameswaram.
A Dravidian-style temple with a substantial temple tank, situated close to Rameswaram in the region most associated with the Ramayana's Lanka campaign narrative.
According to the Ramayana, Rama camped and rested on a bed of sacred grass (pullani) at this site while planning the construction of the bridge to Lanka, and is believed to have prayed to Vishnu here before undertaking that pivotal campaign — directly tying this Divya Desam to one of the epic's most consequential episodes.
