To make the holy month of Sawan more special for Lord Shiva devotees, the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has launched the Divya Dakshin Darshan air tour package.
The six-night, seven-day tour will begin on August 11 and will take pilgrims to some of South India’s most famous religious
and tourist destinations, including Madurai, Rameshwaram, Kanyakumari, and Thiruvananthapuram.
IRCTC Chief Regional Manager Ajit Kumar Sinha said the package offers devotees a chance to visit and worship at the Rameshwaram Jyotirlinga, one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas dedicated to Lord Shiva.
Since Sawan is considered an especially important month for Shiva worship, the tour combines spirituality with tourism.

Accommodation will be arranged in three-star hotels, and meals will also be provided throughout the trip.
