Sri Arulmigu Ramanathaswamy Temple Ramanathaswamy temple is known for its imposing structure, majestic towers, intricate sculptural works and corridors, making it an architectural marvel. The main deity worshipped in the temple is in the form of lingam. There is also an idol of Nandi, which is a massive statue, about 17.5 feet tall. The ritual involves bathing in 22 holy wells (kunds), each with unique waters believed to cleanse the body, mind, and soul. These kunds carry profound spiritual significance, as it is said that Lord Rama himself bathed in them to purify himself of the sin of slaying Ravana, seeking forgiveness from Lord Shiva. #fortyshadesofmadi #devaayathana
