Manavari Temple
Legend: Manavari is the first lingam installed and prayed by Lord Rama and till date this lingam is called as Ramalinga Shivan.
Rameshwaram is the only other lingam in the world named after Lord Rama.
Muneshwaram
Legend: Lord Rama after his victorious battle left for Ayodhya in one of King Ravana's Vimanas. He felt he was being followed by
Bramahathi Dosham as he killed King Ravana who was a Brahmin. He stopped the Vimana at this juncture because he felt at this place the
"Bramahathi Dosham” was not following him. He descended from the Vimana and asked God Shiva for a remedy. God Shiva blessed Lord Rama and advised him to install and pray four lingams in Manavari, Thirukoneshwaram, Thiruketheeswaram and Rameshwaram in India,
as the only remedy to get rid of the Dosham.

Rama and Sita.
Hakgala Botanical Gardens
This is the exotic pleasure garden where King Ravana kept the depressed Sita, insisting that she marries him. It was here where the
heartwarming meeting took place between her and Hanuman, who brought her Rama's ring with the news that Rama was looking for her.
He offered to carry her back but she refused saying it would be an insult to Rama's honor if she did so. Part of this majestic garden still
exists. It is also said that Hanuman nearly destroyed it in order to prove to Ravana of the forces against him.
