    You might also want to stop by the old salt pans on Kurusadai they show how salt production fed the surrounding communities for centuries. After that, a short drive to Rameswaram lets you walk the 22,000 pillar hall of the Ramanathaswamy Temple and see how the sea influenced the temple’s festivals. If you need a place to rest, the Pai Viceroy Hotel in Tirupati is a convenient spot just a short ride from Rameswaram.
