Geography


Rameshwaram is separated from the mainland by Pamban channel.


Economy


The main occupation of people live here is fishing and its allied occupations. Also coconut and jasmine farming activities exist at a considerable level. Jasmine nurseries abound in this coastal hamlet although fishing is the predominant activity. Around 300 farmers cultivate the exotic jasmine variety that is known for its unique fragrance. Small nurseries cover at least 150 acres in the village. Jasmine is almost synonymous with the temple city of Madurai, but the famed Madurai malli has its origins in this little known village of Thangachimadam on Rameswaram island.
