22 Kund

The term "22 theertham" typically refers to a sacred place or pilgrimage site that is associated with 22 different water sources or holy ponds. These sites are often found in regions of religious significance, particularly in South India, where pilgrimage is an important aspect of the local culture. Pilgrims visit these sites to take a ritual bath in the holy waters, which is believed to purify the soul and bring blessings.

One of the most well-known places associated with "22 theertham" is the Ramanathaswamy Temple in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu. This temple is famous for having 22 theerthams, or sacred water bodies, within its complex. Pilgrims visit these theerthams before entering the main temple to perform rituals and cleanse themselves.

Each of the 22 theerthams typically has its own name and significance, often associated with various Hindu deities or mythological stories. The most famous theertham in Rameswaram is Agni Theertham.

It's worth noting that the concept of "theertham" extends beyond Rameswaram and can be found at various other pilgrimage sites across India, each with its own unique set of theerthams and associated beliefs.

The act of taking a ritual bath in the sacred waters of the Theerthams is an important part of the pilgrimage experience for many devotees, and it is believed to bring spiritual purification and blessings.
