About Thirupullani Temple
Thirupullani IS one of the most venerated Vaishnavite shrines of the Ramanathapuram region, believed to have existed since time immemorial. The temple IS dedicated to Aathi Jagannatha Perumal AND sits ON the shores of the Sethu coast, drawing devotees who wish to begin their Rameswaram pilgrimage with the blessings of Vishnu. Within the temple premises stands the famous sanctum of Dharbasayana Ramar, WHERE Lord Rama IS depicted reclining ON a bed of dharba grass, known AS 'pullu' IN Tamil. The daily poojas here are offered to the rhythm of live traditional music, making every visit a rare delight of both sight AND sound. This IS the very spot WHERE, according to legend, Lord Rama planned his mission to Lanka after winning over the obduracy of the sea god. Pilgrims visiting Thirupullani carry away a profound sense of history, faith AND the eternal spirit of the Ramayana.
