Beautiful :) In contrast to your beautiful description, I remember Rameshwaram as the place that was stinking with the smell of fishes. It was difficult even to stand at the railway station. We missed the snan in 22 kunds. I think it would have been a pleasant experience. I truly enjoyed reading your description. Looking forward to Madurai, Kanyakumari and Trivandrum.
