We have enjoyed here by remembering ramayana story spot,location. Ramasweram is an an island- of Lord Rama's temple, Where rama made puja to Lord shiva .The temple called Ramanatha Swamy Temple, very very big , masterpiece of Dravidian architecture.The temple comprises of twenty-two wells amazing is where the taste of the water of each well is different from the other not salt. Tradition says If u bring ganga water from kasi and submit to this temple ,we will get moksham. The surprising is the sea is no waves, very calm like river . the history behind this in ramayan. The rilway bridge on the sea having flexibility to open while shipe sailing. rama therdham, lakshamna and seetha therdham danush koti were visiting places here. Another surprising is floating Rocks, which looks like sodium foam. we tried to bring out from flot but very difficult as it weighs around 25 kgs .
