    If you’re curious about how the sea powered local livelihoods, the salt pans on Kurusadai are a tangible glimpse into that past. In Rameswaram you’ll find the Ramanathaswamy Temple’s 22,000 pillars, which also tell a story of maritime trade through the temple’s storied festivals. For a quick cultural detour after the island visit, the nearby town of Tirupati hosts the Pai Viceroy Hotel, a good spot to regroup.
