Ram Setu, also known as Adam’s Bridge, is a legendary chain of limestone shoals stretching across the sea between Rameswaram (India) and Mannar Island (Sri Lanka). Spanning nearly 48 km, Ram Setu holds immense religious, historical, and cultural significance. According to the epic Ramayana, the bridge was built by Lord Rama and his Vanara army to reach Lanka and rescue Goddess Sita.

Geologically, Ram Setu appears as a series of shallow sandbanks visible from satellite images, sparking curiosity among historians, scientists, and devotees alike. The bridge is believed to be thousands of years old and is often cited as a remarkable example of ancient engineering blended with mythology.

Today, Ram Setu stands as a powerful symbol of faith and heritage. While direct access to the bridge is restricted for safety and conservation reasons, visitors can witness its presence from nearby coastal points, making it a spiritually enriching experience for pilgrims and travelers visiting Rameswaram.
