Visit a sea shell mart

Sea shell marts are something that I found most unique in Rameshwaram—yes you read that right. Step in and you see rows and rows of sea shells of all shapes and sizes that suit every kind of budget! In fact the street leading from the beach (Agni Theertham) to Ramanatha Swamy Temple is filled with shops. Sea shell handicrafts are also available in shops around the temples. In fact at some of the shops near the Agni Theertham you can also get your name etched on the surface of the sea shell! Apart from individual shells that come in different sizes, the sea shell marts are full of products made from sea shells. These include mirrors, wall hangers, shell curtains that can be used as a separators in a home, watches, shell jewellery, shell lamps, shell key chains, shell pen holders, shell carvings and even shell hair accessories! The Gandhi Sea shell mart at Market Street and Kalam Sea shell mart at Mosque Street near Abdul Kalam gallery are good choices as far as making your shell purchases are concerned.
