Agnitheertham

Agnitheertham is the most sacred sea-bathing ghat in Rameswaram — a stretch of shoreline on the Bay of Bengal where pilgrims take a ritual bath as the very first step of the Rameswaram pilgrimage, before entering the Ramanathaswamy Temple. The point where the sea meets the temple town is considered particularly holy — Lord Rama himself bathed here to cleanse himself after battle. A deeply atmospheric sunrise bathing destination and top Rameswaram spiritual attraction.
