Kothandaramaswamy Temple, Hindu temple in Rameswaram, India
The Kothandaramaswamy Temple stands on the Dhanushkodi coast, where the Bay of Bengal meets the Indian Ocean, featuring Dravidian architectural elements and detailed carvings.
Built in the 17th century, this temple remained the sole structure that withstood the destructive cyclone of 1964, which destroyed the surrounding Dhanushkodi region.
The temple walls display paintings that narrate the story of Vibhishana's surrender to Lord Rama and his subsequent coronation as the king of Lanka.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking local transportation from Rameswaram, located 13 kilometers away, with regular services available throughout the day.
The temple derives its name from the distinctive representation of Lord Rama holding a bow, known as Kothandam in Tamil language.
