Gandamadana Parvatham, located towards the north-west of Rameshwaram, is famous for its beautiful sunrise and sunset. It is a holy place for the pilgrims as the place has a temple where devotees can see Lord Rama’s footprints. The double storied Mandapam of the Ramjharoka Temple on this hillock houses the footprints of Lord Rama on the Chakra.
From this hilltop, pilgrims can view the entire island of Rameshwaram. This is the highest point in the island and is situated 3 km from the main Ramanathaswamy Temple.
