Villoondi Theertham

Villoondi Theertham is situated about 6 km from the Rameswaram main bus stand. It’s beautiful views and silent tides are amazing. The place is also known for its pure water spring inside the sea. A few meters from the shore, this pure water well beside the sea are marvels. Devotees connect its existence to a mythological legend from the epic Ramayana. After rescuing Sita and bringing her back to Rameswaram from Sri Lanka, Shri Ram Ji performed rituals by installing a Shiv linga on the spot. When Sita Ji said she was thirsty, Ram shot an arrow into the sea, and from there emerged a spring bringing forth pure water. The Shiv lingam here is named Tryambakeshvar.
