Recently i have been to Rameshwaram,which is also spelled as Rameswaram. Its known as daiveey sthal. Auto's there are called daiveey sawari. Its really, a place where you can feel the presence of God.The whole city is so peaceful that all the time your mind is full of devotion.
Rameshwaram is a small town in the Ramanathapuram distt. of Tamil Nadu state. Its in the shape of Conch located on Pamban Island, which is connected to mainland India by Pamban Bridge.
The temple here is called Ramanathswamy Temple.It is believed that after the victory on Ravana ,when Sri Ram came back with Sitaji and Laxman, He decided to worship Lord Shiva to forgive His sin for killing a brahmin (Ravana) here.
SriRam asked Hanumanji to bring Shive-Ling. Hanumanji was taking too long so Sitaji made Shive-Ling with sand . SriRam performed pooja with Sitaji and Laxman.This Shiv-Ling is worshiped in Ramanathswamy Temple along with with two other Shiv-Lingas which were brought by Hanumanji (given to him by Lord Shiva ).
Ramanathswamy Temple was devoted to Lord Shiva and the original name given was Ramanathswamy Thirukoil.
Rameswarwam is worth visiting. Here we feel that Ramayan is infact history not mythology.
