ಶ್ರೀರಾಮ ಮತ್ತು ವಿಭೀಷಣ ಭೇಟಿಯಾದ ಸ್ಥಳ Kothandaramaswamy Temple Rameswaram Kothandaramar Tamil Nadu Tour Package.
The Kothandaramaswamy Temple at Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu is a shrine dedicated to the Hindu God Sri Rama. The temple is Classified as one among the 108 Abhimana Kshethrams of the Vaishnavate tradition. Located 13 kilometers (8.1 mi) from Rameswaram, it forms the southernmost tip of the island. The temple is the only historical structure to survive the 1964 cyclone that washed away Dhanushkodi. The temple has the deities of Rama, Lakshmana, Sita, Hanuman, and Vibhishana. Kothandaramar Temple is surrounded by sea and remains a tourist attraction. It is easily accessible from Rameswaram.
The temple is estimated to have been constructed about 500-1000 years ago. Rama, the main idol, is depicted as having a bow (Kothandam), and hence the name Kothandaramaswamy for the idol.
The temple is believed to be the place where Vibhishana, the younger brother of Ravana, asked Rama and his vanara army for refuge. According to this tradition, after the abduction of Sita, Vibhishana advised Ravana to return her to Rama. However, Ravana did not listen to the advice, which led to Vibhishana fleeing from Lanka and joining Rama's army. When Vibhishana surrendered to Rama, the vanara army urged Rama not to accept Vibhishana believing him to be a spy. However, Rama accepted Vibhishana under the insistence of Hanuman stating that it is his duty to protect the ones surrendered to him. It is also said that after the slaying of Ravana, Rama performed the "Pattabhishekam" (ascension to king of Lanka) for Vibhishana at this place. The story is depicted in painting across the walls inside the shrine.
