In all temple towns , there are priests like Swaminathsn Sharma - more so in north than in South. That does not mean every priest is corrupt . No doubt , they may overcharge a little for special occasions or homams as these are far and few in numbers in a year . I have had very good experience in Rameswaram where in Mahalaya Paksha period , I could do the tharpanam very comfortably with the guidance of a learned priest without being exploited . The priest was Shri Venkatarama Sastrigal ( cell : 9486672258 & 8778063127.
Best place to stay in Rameswaram is Tamilnadu Hotel ( TTDC operated) . It is on the beach , very close to temple . Very decent hotel with all modern facilities, hygienic clean bathrooms ,good dining facilities . Requires advance reservation which can be done online . They have rooms and cottages at reasonable price. With proper planning , visits to pilgrim centres are pleasant . One should not mind spending a little more on priests or transport in such places .
