    Kurusadai’s 17th century Dutch fort ruins and old salt pans show how the sea shaped local trade, while Rameswaram’s Ramanathaswamy Temple, with its 22,000 pillars, offers a deep dive into myth and temple architecture. If you’re curious about maritime heritage, start at Kurusadai; for religious lore and pilgrimage history, Rameswaram will give you richer context. Which angle appeals to you more?
