点评:Ramanathaswamy Temple is the main attraction of Rameswaram and the primary reason why most pilgrims visit this holy place. There are two types of darshan available here. Early in the morning, between 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM, a small Spatik Shivlingam is placed in front of the main lingam while the main lingam remains covered. This special darshan attracts a huge crowd.
After this, devotees traditionally take a holy bath in the 22 kundas (sacred wells), change their wet clothes, and then proceed again for darshan of the main lingam. At other times of the day, the crowd is comparatively manageable, and you can directly have darshan of the main deity.
Although the officially approved charge for bathing in the kundas is around ₹25, many visitors end up paying the priests or attendants present there to ensure a proper bathing experience. Otherwise, the attendants pouring water may not provide sufficient water from the wells. It is advisable to carry a wide-mouthed container or jar to collect water from all the kundas while they pour water on you and bring some holy water back home.
Men are allowed to wear shorts during the bathing ritual, and carrying your clothes in a waterproof bag or backpack is manageable because water is poured mainly on the head. Alternatively, you can keep your fresh clothes in the locker room before beginning the ritual.
Mobile phones are allowed inside the temple premises, and visitors can take photographs of the beautiful corridors and pillars. However, photography is strictly prohibited inside the sanctum sanctorum.
Apart from payments made to priests for assistance during bathing or darshan, visitors can also purchase special darshan tickets, which generally cost around ₹200 per person.
翻译:拉玛纳塔斯瓦米神庙是拉梅斯瓦拉姆的主要景点,也是大多数朝圣者前来此地的主要原因。这里有两种朝拜方式。清晨,凌晨4点至5点之间,主林伽前会放置一个小型的斯帕提克湿婆林伽,而主林伽则被遮盖。这种特殊的朝拜方式会吸引大量信徒。
之后,信徒们会按照传统在22个圣水池(kundas)中沐浴,更换湿衣服,然后再去朝拜主林伽。在一天中的其他时间,人流相对较少,您可以直接朝拜主神。
虽然官方规定的在圣水池沐浴的费用约为25卢比,但许多游客最终还是会付钱给在场的祭司或侍者,以确保获得良好的沐浴体验。否则,侍者可能无法提供足够的水。建议携带一个广口容器或罐子,以便在沐浴时从所有圣水池(kundas)中收集水,并带一些圣水回家。
男士在沐浴仪式期间可以穿短裤,由于水主要浇在头部,因此将衣物放在防水袋或背包中即可。或者,您也可以在仪式开始前将干净的衣服存放在更衣室。
寺庙内允许使用手机,游客可以拍摄美丽的走廊和柱子。但是,在圣殿内严禁拍照。
除了向沐浴或朝拜期间的祭司支付费用外,游客还可以购买特殊的朝拜门票,通常每人约 200 卢比。
