Dhanushkodi - Rameshwaram

Dhanushkodi - Rameshwaram

The Hindu scripture Ramayana says that Lord Ram built a bridge or causeway, called Ram Setu or 'Rama's bridge', between the mainland and Sri Lanka, in order to bring his army across. After Rama won the war and crowned a new king of Lanka, Vibhishana requested Rama to destroy the bridge. Rama broke the bridge with one end of his bow. Hence, the name Dhanushkodi or 'end of the bow' (dhanush meaning 'bow' and kodi meaning 'end'). It is also said that Rama originally marked the spot for the bridge with one end of his famous bow. The series of rocks and islets currently found in a line between India and Sri Lanka suggests there was indeed a former land connection between India and Sri Lanka.  The The Kodhanda Ram Kovil temple marks the place where Rama is said to have begun his journey to Lanka.
Hindu Pilgrims usually bathe in the ocean here before completing the pilgrimage to Rameshwaram. The spot is considered Sacred Confluence of The Bay of Bengal and The Indian Ocean. In addition, it is said that pilgrimage to the holy city of Kashi in North India is not complete without also worshipping at Rameswaram, including the ritual bath at Dhanushkodi.
For Tourist is one of the most cleanest beach full of aquatic life.
