Where Lord Rama himself installed and worshipped a Shivalinga before his conquest of Lanka… there a scripture-ordained Vedic ritual will now be performed in your name and gotra. At the holy abode of Shri Ramanathaswamy Mahadev, on the shore of the sacred Agni Tirtham where the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and Gulf of Mannar meet, scholarly priests trained in the Vedas perform the Vedic Rudrabhishek, Mahamrityunjaya Jaap, Shiva pooja and a special Sankalp in your name and gotra — whether you travel there yourself or have the pandit perform the darshan-pooja on your behalf from home. This is not merely a pooja, but a Vedic spiritual ritual to receive the divine grace of Lord Shiva. ॥ Har Har Mahadev ॥

Written guaranteeAccording to the Shiva Purana, the twelve holy sites where Lord Shiva himself manifested in the form of Jyoti (light) are called the twelve Jyotirlingas. Spread across India, they are considered the supreme pilgrimage sites for devotees of Shiva.
Among these, Shri Rameshwaram holds the honour of being the eleventh Jyotirlinga — situated on Pamban Island in the Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu, where the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and Gulf of Mannar meet. It is one of the Char Dhams and the only Jyotirlinga established by Lord Rama himself. It is believed that darshan, abhishek and bathing at the Setu here fulfil wishes and free one from the sins of life.
The remaining eleven Jyotirlingas will also be made available on Mangal Bhav one by one. Tap a number on the wheel to learn about each Jyotirlinga.
Layered with history and faith, this temple holds a special place for devotees of Shiva—
Rameshwaram is a sacred site on Pamban Island in the Ramanathapuram district of Tamil Nadu, holding a distinguished place among the twelve Jyotirlingas in the scriptures. Witnessed by the waves of the Indian Ocean and the sacred Agni Tirtham, the tradition of Shiva worship here has continued unbroken for ages.
Devotees come here from India and abroad to receive the blessings of Lord Ramanathaswamy and to perform Rudrabhishek and darshan-pooja according to scriptural rites.
A ritual performed in scriptural sequence by qualified priests — in your name and gotra.
The priest takes the Sankalp in your name and gotra and worships Shri Ganesh, remover of obstacles.
Following the sacred tradition of the Agni Tirtham seashore, the Jyotirlinga is bathed with water, milk, honey, curd, ghee and bilva leaves amid Vedic chanting.
The scripture-ordained Mahamrityunjaya and Shiva Panchakshar mantras are chanted with proper ritual.
After the abhishek, the deity is adorned (Shringar) and darshan is shown to you via live video.
Your name is included in the prayers of the grand evening aarti that resounds amid the ocean waves.
After the pooja is complete, prasad, a video of the pooja, and a digital completion certificate are provided.
The pandit is praying to Lord Shiva for our family.
He is pouring water, milk and honey on the Shivalinga — this is called "Abhishek", meaning a loving bath.
He is chanting old Sanskrit mantras — these are prayers thousands of years old.
Lamps are lit for the aarti — this fills the temple with light.
After the pooja, you'll get "prasad" — a sweet gift filled with God's blessings.
This tradition has been passed down in our family from grandparents and great-grandparents — now you're a part of it too!
