Rameshwaram: Where Rama Built a Bridge

Stand at the tip of Rameshwaram and look south across the turquoise waters of the Palk Strait. Just 30 kilometers away lies Sri Lanka - Lanka from the Ramayana. Between these two landmasses, satellite images reveal a chain of limestone shoals stretching across the sea. NASA calls it Adam's Bridge. Hindus call it Ram Setu - the bridge Rama built with his army of monkeys and bears to rescue Sita from Ravana. Whether you see geology or mythology, the view will take your breath away.
