India - Day 9 - Rameshwaram

On day 9, we went to Rameshwaram. There we had a bath in 22 wells. It is said that all the 22 wells have different tastes. Its true!!! I tasted water from every well. Some are sweet and some are sour. There are 108 lingams in Rameshwaram and they are all different. Some are big some are small and some have square bases. There is also a temple where a special Lingam is kept. It is believed that Seetha built this Lingam out of sand to thank Lord Siva after Rama saved her from Ravana, the evil king. The bridge that Rama built in Danushkodi is broken but still there. After that, we took a train ride all the way to Chennai. It was really fun!!!
