"A special thanks to Srishti Kumar for making me active again"
| An unmaintained pillar |
| Rameshwaram temple |
Many people come to places like Rameshwaram and Kashi to atone for their sins and continue with their increment of sins by polluting the water and the surrounding environment. But when compared with Kashi, the degree of pollution is low in Rameshwaram.
I’ve been to Rameshwaram thrice and I always enjoy the beauty of the temple’s statues and the amazing arrangement of pillars. They always attract more cameras. With a superstitious belief many devotees leave their wet clothes in the sea and they spoil the scenic view of the so called holy sea. Many venerable things are given a very bad look due to the vacuousness of dirty human minds. The sediments of clothes that are settled under water will surely resist us from getting wet in the sea and I don’t know why still people continue to do these silly stupid things. Some say that we have to leave our wet clothes to clear off all our sins and if they are cleverer in answering, I have another question for them ‘why can’t you give those to the people who are badly in need of them…???’
The sanctimonious monuments and scriptures were representing the stages of history. Spots like Danushkodi, where the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean meets, will surely be a new experience for everyone as we can notice a silent tide less sea on one side and an active sea on another side. The water and the shore areas of Danushkodi were not so untidy, as it doesn’t have more footprints of visitors on it. The water surface was glassy and it appeared greenish blue in color. The spot where we can enjoy the confluence of Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean is far away from the region which can be reached by normal vehicles and so one has to make use of the heavy vehicle transportation provided by the local people. The trip of about 8 km cost $1.7 per head which is definitely unfair and this is unaffordable by all.
The tourism development corporation of India must take care of this and it can even make a good revenue out of it. It must keep a sharp eye on these places and make foreign tourists to visit these places. These places have more beautiful lush green surroundings and as we travel from place to place we can notice some winsome landscape views through our glasses with flight of beautiful birds. Even peacocks roam freely along the roads and if you are gonna visit these places better have an additional set of batteries or a charger for your cam
