THE GHOST TOWN- last land of INDIA

HERE I am very excited to share about my last scary but faithful trip…
RAMESHWARAM……

Bay of Bengal on one side and the Indian Ocean on the other, OH GOD!
SUCH A NICE VIEW…Dhanushkodi which is also known as the last
land of India is a beach town located in Tamilnadu.
As per the legends of the most sacred Hindu text that is Ramayana,
Dhanushkodi is the exact place where Lord Rama, Lord Lakshman,
and Lord Hanuman with their vanar army constructed a bridge to
Lanka. This bridge was constructed to rescue goddess Sita, who
was the wife of Lord Rama and was in the captivity of Ravana.

This Bridge was referred to as Ram Setu. After the war Got finished
and Lord Rama won, they crowned Vibhishana - brother of Ravana
as the king of Sri Lanka. Later, Vibhishana asked Lord Rama to
destroy this Bridge and by accepting his request Lord Rama used
his bow and to break this Bridge and hence this place was named
Dhanushkodi which also means “end of the bow”. The distance
between Rameshwaram & Sri Lanka is about 48.3 km. . The floating
stones of Ram Sethu Point are not visible as it has submerged under
water.
But you can see the samples in Five Face Hanuman Temple located in
the Heart of Rameswaram.

Dhanushkodi was completely destroyed on the night of 22nd


December 1964 by a cyclone and took the lives of almost 3,000
people at once and since then the Madras government has declared
this place unfit for residence. After this declaration the place got its
name as “The Ghost Town”, even today the tourists are not allowed
to be near beaches during the nighttime as some paranormal
activities are experienced at this place and this is how this happy
town turned into a ghost town in just one night.
The floating stones of Ram Setu Point are not visible as it has
submerged underwater.But you can see the samples in Five Face
Hanuman Temple located in the Heart of Rameswaram.
