The most well-known reference to Lord Rama attributes to him the construction of a bridge from Rameshwaram to Lanka for his rescue of Sita. According to legends the sacred Ramanathaswamy Temple holds a Shiva Lingam, which Rama used for worship to gain pardon from his wrongfulness of slaying Ravana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout different dynastic periods, Rameshwaram served as a prosperous religious center starting with the Cholas and moving to the Pandyas and finally reaching its peak under the rule of the Sethupathis. Throughout centuries, this island town has developed spiritually before combining its eons-old religious practices with contemporary visitation norms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Ramanathaswamy_Temple_%E2%80%93_A_Spiritual_Marvel\"><\/span><strong>1.
