Visit Ram Setu

Rama's Bridge or Rama Setu, as it is known colloquially, is a chain of limestone shoals between Pamban Island and Mannar Island, and at one point it was the bridge between India and Sri Lanka! The 48 km long bridge has its origins in Ramayana that describes the Setubandhanam Bridge over the ocean that connected India with Sri Lanka. It is also believed that Hanuman helped Rama and Lakshmana to construct the bridge to reach Lanka to rescue Sita who was kidnapped by Ravan. A British cartographer called it the Adam’s Bridge and no records establish the exact date of its origin. The Sri Lankans believe that the bridge was constructed by Ravana himself employing floating rocks, the rocks made of weightless corals to reach India when needed!
