Ramanathaswamy on Rameswaram island, Tamil Nadu, is the southernmost jyotirlinga — the linga of Rama's own making. Tradition holds that Rama worshipped Shiva here before the crossing to Lanka, and again on return, seeking absolution; Hanuman raced to Kailasa for a linga, and Sita's sand linga, made while waiting, stands in the sanctum to this day. The temple's third corridor — over a kilometre of pillared perspective raised by the Sethupathi rulers of Ramnad — is the longest temple corridor in India: the south's answer in stone to the light of the north.
