Rameswaram
My mind was on Lord Ram and for a strange reason, Rameswaram came into memory. It is on the south eastern coast in Tamil Nadu, and is considered a hotspot for beautiful temples. There are several pilgrimages within the city.
Puranas

The place where the events of Mahabharata unfold before the War. Hastina menas 'Elephant' while some believe the name comes from King Hasti. The 100 Kaurava brothers were born here to Gandhari.
