Rameshwaram Pilgrimage: PM Modi's Puja at the Sacred Kothandaramaswamy Temple

Chennai: Prime Minister Narendra Modi embarked on a spiritual journey, offering prayers at the Kothandaramaswamy Temple in Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu. This visit precedes the 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony of Ram Lalla in Ayodhya. During his visit, PM Modi performed puja at the Kothandaramaswamy Temple, known for its association with Lord Ram and Vibhishana.

Situated in Dhanushkodi, this sacred place holds significance as the location where Lord Ram is believed to have taken the vow to defeat Ravana and proceed to Lanka. The temple stands as a testament to the timeless devotion associated with Lord Ram, and according to popular belief, it is where Vibhishana sought refuge and witnessed his coronation.

Earlier, PM Modi visited Arichal Munai, a point associated with the construction of the Ram Setu. During his spiritual journey, he also paid visits to the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple in Tiruchirappalli and the Sri Arulmigu Ramanathaswamy Temple in Rameswaram.

This pilgrimage forms part of an 11-day 'Anushtaan' announced by the Prime Minister. His journey has taken him to various shrines associated with Lord Ram, including Ramkund and Shree Kalaram Temple in Nasik, Veerbhadra Temple in Lepakshi, Puttaparthi in Andhra Pradesh, and Guruvayur Temple and Triprayar Shree Ramaswami Temple in Kerala.

In addition to showcasing his deeply spiritual side, PM Modi initiated the Swachh Teerth initiative, symbolizing cleanliness and sanitation, as he actively participated in cleaning the premises of Shree Kalaram Temple in Nasik on January 12.

The 'Pran Pratishtha' ceremony of Shri Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's temple is scheduled for Monday, January 22. This grand occasion is expected to witness the participation of dignitaries and people from all walks of life, marking a significant milestone in the construction and consecration of the Ram Mandir.
