Ramanathaswamy Temple
Rameswaram is one of the four Dhams and the primary site for Pitru Tarpan (ancestral rites) in South India. The 22 theerthams (sacred tanks) are a central feature — bathing in all 22 is the traditional prescribed practice for clearing ancestral karma.
Inside Ramanathaswamy Temple
Ritual & Significance
The 22-theertham bath sequence is the primary practice here — devotees are bathed with holy water by temple priests in sequence. Pitru Tarpan for deceased family members should be performed at Dhanushkodi (the tip of Rameswaram island). The Agnitheertham (sea-shore) is the first bath point.
