In the temple, there are 22 watertanks.
Each water has other powers. The pilgrims take a bath in all 22
watertanks and drink some water out of each tank. One thing is fore
sure – these pilgrims have a lot of fun bathing in their 22 tanks.
Even Sadhus, the holy men of India,
come here.

For sure, for all pilgrims it is also
important to take a bath in the sea. And in a holy place like this, a
holy cow should not be missed!

| Santosh with offerings, taking a holy bath, Rameshwaram, India |
Here, in Rameshwaram, I got to know Santosh, a pilgrim from Hyderabad. Santosh was very eager to explain the ceremonies and all the does and don´ts. I was very happy, as this is the way to learn even more about another culture - with someone explaining just anything you want to know! Thanks a lot, Santosh - for not being a second offended or annoyed by my millions of question....
