Rameswaram
Rameswaram is one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Hindu Religion. It is believed that Lord Rama had worshiped this Jyotirlinga in order to win in the fight with Ravan. The temple is located very near to the sea (100 meters) in the island of Rameswaram. There are 22 teerthas or holy water sources inside the temple. You can buy a ticket of 25/- to bath in all these 22 teerthas inside the temple.
Agni Teertham- The sea near the temple (Bay of Bengal) is known as Agni Teertham which is also considered very sacred for bathing. Including these teerthas there are altogether 64 teerthas in Rameswaram.
Rama Teertham and Panchamukhi Hanuman- is about 2 kms from Rameswaram Temple by the side of the main road connecting the main temple. The water of this pond is believed to be very sacred by Hindus. There is panchamukhi Hanuman temple near Rama teertham where you will find lot of floating stones which were used to build sethubandha in the past.
Laxman Teertham is another ancient temple in Rameswaram about 1 km from Rama Teertham and 3 kms from main Jyotirlinga Temple. Near Laxman Teertham, there is Sita Teertham, a small pond which is almost dried up and filled with garbage.
Viloondi Teertham is about 8 kms from Rameswaram Temple, located in between Rameswaram Temple and Pamban Bride. The teertham is a sweet water well in the middle of sea water. According to mythological stories Rama shot an arrow to get sweet water at this place to quench the thirst of Sita and others.
Pambam bridge is another attraction of Rameswaram. This is India's first sea bridge constructed in 1914. It is about 2kms long and is also the longest sea bridge in India.
Vivekananda memorial is located near Kunthukal beach in Rameswaram. It is located on the south west side of Rameswaram Island which is about 15 kms from Rameswaram Temple and 8 kms from Pamban Beach. Apart from the memorial the other attraction here is Kunthukal Sea beach.
Jada Teertham or Jata Mukuta Teertham is one of the 64 teertham of Rameswaram. This is about 8 kms from Rameswaram temple on the way to Dhanuskodi. You have to walk about 200 meters from the road to reach this place. As per mythology, after completion of Lanka war with Ravana, Lord Rama washed his Jata or hair at this place.
Kodanda Ramar Temple or Bibhisan Temple is about 12 kms from Rameswaram main Temple near Dhanuskodi. The temple is sorrounded by sea water at all sides except a connecting road form the highway. It is a beautiful spot and a must visit if you are going to Rameswaram.
Dhanuskodi is a part of Sethubandha that is extended into the sea from Rameswaram towards Srilanka. The view of sea is different at different points in Dhanuskodi. While near Bibhisan temple there is less water and no waves, in Dhanuskodi beach there is deep water and high waves.

Outcome of COP25 balanced, with the exception of Climate Finance issues: Shri Prakash Javadekar
Outcome of COP25 balanced, with the exception of Climate Finance issues: Shri Prakash Javadekar 25th Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 25) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was held under the Presidency of Chile in Madrid, Spain on 02nd – 15th December 2018. The conference, which was expected to conclude on 13th December, was extended till 15th December 2019 to arrive at a consensus on a range of issues, particularly Article 6 of Paris Agreement, Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage associated with Climate Change Impacts and climate finance.
Addressing a Press Conference in New Delhi today, Union Environment Minister, Shri Prakash Javadekar said that with the exception of climate finance issues, overall, India considers the outcome of COP 25 a balanced outcome which addresses concerns of all Parties, especially the developing countries and provides the necessary building blocks for successful implementation of the UNFCCC and its Paris Agreement.
“India engaged constructively in the negotiations while protecting India’s key interests including consideration of principles of equity and Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities (CBDR-RC); need for enhanced means of implementation, including climate finance, technology transfer at affordable costs and capacity building support, from developed to developing countries in accordance with their obligations under the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement.”, said Shri Javadekar
“Prime Minister ,Shri Narendra Modi has increased the target for renewables from 175 Giga Watts to 450 Giga Watts at the recent UN Climate Action Summit. India is simultaneously progressing on solar, biomass and wind energy”, said the Union Minister.
The COP 25 decision, titled Chile Madrid Time for Action, emphasizes the continued challenges that developing countries face in accessing financial, technology and capacity-building support, and recognizes the urgent need to enhance the provision of support to developing country Parties for strengthening their national adaptation and mitigation efforts. The decision also recalls the commitment made by developed country Parties to a goal of mobilizing jointly USD 100 billion per year by 2020 to address the needs of developing country Parties. On the issue of global ambition for combating climate change, the decision adopted provides for a balanced and integrated view of ambition that includes not only efforts for climate change mitigation, but also for adaptation and means of implementation support from developed country parties to developing country parties.
Some of the Key issues discussed at COP25 are enlisted below:-
Pre-2020 implementation and ambition gaps: On the matter of Pre-2020 gaps in commitments and actions of developed countries under Kyoto Protocol, India, along with other developing countries, was successful in ensuring further work on it. The COP 25 decision provides for assessing the pre-2020 gaps through round tables at COP 26 in Glasgow, with written submissions from Parties. UNFCCC secretariat will prepare a summary report of the pre 2020 gaps in mitigation action and means of implementation support by developed country parties that had commitments under the Kyoto Protocol.
Summary of these roundtables will serve as an input for the second periodic review of the long-term global goal under the Convention, which will start in 2020 and conclude in 2022. The decision on Periodic Review ensures that it will assess the overall aggregated effect of the steps taken by Parties in order to achieve the long-term global goal in the light of the ultimate objective of the Convention, in accordance with the relevant principles and provisions of the Convention and on the basis of the best available science.
Article 6 under the Paris Agreement: the guidance for Article 6 for market and non-market mechanisms could not be agreed due to divergences among Parties. However, India was successful in protecting its key positions in the last draft decision text presented including on transition of Clean Development Mechanism under Kyoto Protocol to the post-2020 period and provision of share of proceeds from market mechanisms as well as cooperative approaches, for adaptation fund to address the climate change adaptation needs of developing countries. India insisted that fundamental principles of market reliability and parity between Article 6.2 and Article 6.4 must be preserved. India’s concerns are reflected in the draft texts that will be negotiated in further meetings of the COP. India argued for incentivizing private sector through Article 6.4 with adequate returns without requirement of adjusting Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) that are country driven.
Enhanced Transparency Framework (Monitoring, Reporting and Verification): in the discussions on technical elements under transparency, India argued for a robust transparency framework for both action and support provided by developed to developing countries. Further the common formats should operationalize flexibility for developing countries to reflect the principle of differentiation. Discussion on this matter will continue in the next COP26.
Warsaw International Mechanism (WIM) for Loss and Damage: under the review of WIM for loss and damage associated with Climate Change Impacts, the decision recognizes urgency of scaling-up of action and support, as appropriate, including finance, technology and capacity-building, for developing countries for averting, minimizing and addressing loss and damage, including from Green Climate Fund (GCF). The decision also established the Santiago network for catalyzing technical assistance for implementation of relevant approaches at in developing countries.
Adaptation: On adaptation related matters, India has been stressing on parity between mitigation and adaptation. The COP 25 decision recalls that the provision of scaled-up financial resources should aim to achieve a balance between adaptation and mitigation, taking into account country-driven strategies, and the priorities and needs of developing country Parties, considering the need for public and grant-based resources for adaptation.
Technology development and transfer: On technology related matters, the adopted decision requests the Technology Executive Committee (TEC) and the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) to continue to implement their mandates with strengthened efforts on all themes of the technology framework. GCF has also been requested to collaborate with CTCN and TEC for strengthening cooperative action on technology development and transfer at different stages of the technology cycle.
India also made a presentation on its second Biennial Update Report (BUR) submitted to UNFCCC in December 2018 under the Facilitative Sharing of Views (FSV) process. The key highlight of India’s second BUR is the achievement of 21% reduction in emission intensity of its Gross Domestic Product over the period of 2005-2014.
India hosted an ‘India Pavilion’ at COP-25 which was a major attraction amongst the visitors that included delegates from different parts of the world, UN agencies etc. The theme of the pavilion was ‘150 years of celebrating the Mahatma’ and it was designed to depict Mahatma Gandhi’s life and messages around sustainable living
