The ticket for entry is 25rs Saddest part seen here is if you pay extra money they will put theertha nicely on you which was really bad . I mean i could see many common people fighting and shouting there The management is really poor. The people inside are really not good humans Just behind money which is very bad especially in a holy place No doubt the temple is having an amazing cooridor It is mentioned no phones to be carried but the security check is so poor that almost all had phones and where making videos and clicking photos Avoid autos ….use government bus So i would rate Temple 5 star Management 1 star Security check 1 star

Like all ancient temples in South India, there is a high compound wall (madil) on all four sides of the temple premises measuring about 865 feet furlong from east to west and one furlong of 657 feet from north to south with huge towers (Gopurams) to the east and the west and finished gate towers to the north and south. The temple has striking long corridors in its interior, running between huge colonnades on platforms above five feet high. The second corridor is formed by sandstone pillars, beams, and ceiling. The junction of the third corridor on the west and the paved way leading from the western gopuram to the Setumadhava shrine forms a unique structure in the form of a chess board, popularly known as Chokkattan Madapam, where the Utsava deities are adorned and kept during the Vasanthotsavam (Spring festival) and on the 6th day festival in Adi (July–August) and Masi (February–March) conducted by the Sethupathi of Ramnad.

The inner corridors are about 224 feet each in the east and the west and about 352 feet each in the north and the south.[9] Their width varies from 15.5 feet to 17 feet in the east and west about 172 feet on the north and south with width varying 14.5 feet to 17 feet.The total length of these corridors is thus 3850 feet. There are about 1212 pillars in the outer corridor. Their height is about 30 feet from the floor to the center of the roof. The main tower or rajagopuram is 53 m tall.Most pillars are carved with individual compositions. At the beginning, Ramanathaswamy Temple was a thatched shed. The present structure was the work of many individuals spread over a number of centuries. The pride of place in the establishment of the Temple goes to the Setupatis of Ramanathapuram. In the seventeenth century, Dalavai Setupati built a portion of the main eastern Gopuram. In the late eighteenth century, the world-famous third corridor was constructed by Muthuramalinga Setupati who lived for forty-nine years and ruled between 1763 and 1795. The corridor was called "Chokkatan Mandapam". The Mukhya Pradhani (Chief Minister) was Muthuirullappa Pillai and the Chinna Pradhani (Deputy Chief Minister) was Krishna Iyengar.

This shiva temple is one of the jyotirlinga and holy place of hindu. Temple surrounding is very big. Paid parking available near temple. There is 25rs fee. Visited temple in the evening, and there was very less crowd inside the temple.

Cellphones are not permitted; hence you cannot take pictures of the long corridoors and the striking sculpture and architecture. The temple interiors are well maintained but the neighbouring alleys are dirty

Best to visit early morning get bath in the sea shore change your clothes and visit the temple for dharisana. The first dharshana will be easy to visit if you take children with you, because it won't take that longer time to get into the temple and see the first dharsana Better wait for atleast 30 mins and after the dharisana you can go the the shore for watching sunrise and have breakfast near by hotel.

Excellent place to visit for every devotee of Lord Shiva and Rama. It's all about Lord Rama after his return from Srilanka ( Killing Ravana ) worshipped Lord Shiva and thus this temple was originated. Just like Varanasi, Rameshwaram is also a holy place and devotee from all over India and world visit this place. Congratulations to the management for keeping this place neat and clean. Request if they can clean everyday the Agni Thirtham area also then it would be great.
