RAMESWARAM

More than the Mandapams and different images representing the adorable deities, there are 22 thirthas in different parts of the temple campus itself each with a characteristic taste of its own - a unique feature not found anywhere in India.  A bath in them is quite efficacious, showering peace and bliss to the bathers. 

Hence, every visitor invariably starts this ritual after taking bath in the Agnithirtham before entering the principal shrines.  The medicinal properties of the thirthas cure skin diseases, according to belief.  Among them, Madhav, Chakra, Amrita, Ganga, Saraswati, Parvati, Lakshmi, Siva, Sarva, Koti thirthams are famous.
