We
have
done
our
blessed
Darshan
and
organized
Abhishekam
with
the
help
of
a
local
guide/pandit.
You
have
pay
them
enough
to
ensure
that
you
will
have
a
divine
experience
of
Rameshwar
Darshan
and
abhishekam.
Although
we
had
our
Darshan
in
the
evening,
we
recommend
you
to
have
a
morning
Darshan.
The
pandit
will
take
you
to
the
Agnitheertham
for
you
to
take
dip
and
start
your
path
of
purification.
After
that,
the
pandit
will
take
you
to
the
22
Theerthams
and
will
pour
water
from
each
Theertham
to
you
in
the
following
sequence:
1.
Mahalakshmi
theertham,
2.
Kenthamadana
theertham,
3.
Savitri
theertham,
4.
Brahmahathi
theertham,
5.
Gayathri
theertham,
6.
Ganga
theertham,
7.
Saraswathi
theertham,
8.
Yamuna
theertham,
9.
Sangu
theertham,
10.
Gaya
theertham,
11.
Sakkara

theertham
and

Kodi
Theertham
There
are
facilities
for
changing
the
wet
clothes
and
then
you
proceed
to
the
Rameshwar
Sannidhi.
The
monolithic
bull
in
front
of
the
Ramanatha
Swamy
is
really
huge.
You
seek
the
permission
to
see
the
Lord
from
the
bull
and
then
forget
every
thing
and
say
Om
Namashivaya
to
have
your
divine
Darshan
and
see
the
abhishekam.
There
are
two
lingams
inside
the
sanctum
-
one
built
by
Sita
matha
and
worshipped
by
Lord
Rama.
Another
linga
which
is
believed
to
be
brought
by
Lord
Hanuman
from
Kailash,
called
Viswalingam.
The
temple
complex
is
really
huge
so
don’t
miss
visiting
the
shrines
of
Ammal,
Ganesha,
Vishnu,
Anjaneya
and
the
Samadhi
of
the
great
Yogi
Patanjalai.
A
must
visit
temple
and
a
life
changing
experience.
