Detail InformationEdit

Jada Theertham attracts countless devotees every year. It is basically a water tank that is surrounded by trees from all sides. This site finds special mention in the Hindu Epic – Ramayana. It is believed that after killing the demon king Ravana, Lord Rama came to this place and installed a Shiva Linga. Before doing so, he washed His hair (jada) to purify Himself. Pilgrims in seemingly endless numbers come here to take a dip in the holy water of the tank.

Jada Tirtham

HistoryEdit

The theertham is again related to legends of Sri Rama, and it is believed that Lord Rama stopped at the place on his way to Ayodhya after killing Ravana and rescuing his wife Sita. He prepared a lingam and worshipped it. The lingam is called the Sri Ramalinga. Rama also washed his ‘jada’ or hair in the water in order to absolve Himself from the sin of having killed a Brahmin. Only after ‘washing off’ his sins did He start worshipping the lingam.

Adam’s Bridge is located around 25 km southwest of Rameshwaram is the easternmost point of Pamban Island. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

Adam’s Bridge is also known as the Rama’s Bridge or Rama Setu. Adam’s Bridge is essentially a chain of coral reefs and sandbanks that almost connects India with its neighbouring country, Sri Lanka. It is popularly believed that this bridge was constructed by Lord Rama, with the help of Hanuman and his Sena, for rescuing his wife Sita from Ravana. This bridge got its name from an Islamic legend, who said that Adam used this bridge to reach ‘Adam’s Peak’ in Sri Lanka. This bridge is a natural bridge that is made of rocks, small islands, sandbanks and stretches of reefs. Sandbanks of this bridge are quite dry and the sea is shallow. Mostly 3 feet in depth, the sea is 30 feet deep at certain places. The entire bridge is around 48 km (30 miles) long and separates the Gulf of Mannar from the Palk Strait. It starts from the Dhanushkodi tip in India’s Pamban Island and ends at Mannar Island in Sri Lanka. The Pamban Island is semi-connected to the India by a 2 km long Pamban Bridge, while Mannar Island is connected to Sri Lanka through a causeway.
