Question

where is ramasethu ?

Answer 1

Adam's Bridge[1], or Rama Setu (meaning "Rama's Bridge"), is a chain of limestone shoals, between the islands of Mannar, near northwestern Sri Lanka, and Rameswaram, off the southeastern coast of India. It is generally believed, in the Indian sub-continent, that this structure is the bridge built by Rama, an incarnation of Vishnu to rescue his consort Sita who was abducted to Lanka by Ravana, as mentioned in the Ramayana. Geological evidence indicates that this bridge acted as a former land connection between India and Sri Lanka.[2]

The bridge is 30 miles (48 km) long and separates the Gulf of Mannar (southwest) from the Palk Strait (northeast). Some of the sandbanks are dry and the sea in the area is very shallow, being only 3 ft to 30 ft (1 m to 10 m) deep in places, which hinders navigation.[2] There are controversies about whether this structure is natural or man-made.

In 2001, the Government of India had approved a controversial multi-million dollar Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project that aims to create a navigational channel across the Palk Strait by dredging through a portion of this causeway. Various organizations have opposed the project based on religious, economic and environmental grounds and have sought the implementation of one of the alternative alignments considered during the earlier stages of the discussion

The bridge was first mentioned in historical works in the 11th century, mentioned by Alberuni Ibn Khordadbeh in his Book of Roads and Kingdoms (ca. 850 AD) and was called Set Bandhai or "Bridge of the Sea".[5]

The name Adam's Bridge is probably due to an Islamic legend, according to which Adam used the bridge to reach Adam's Peak in Sri Lanka, where he stood repentant on one foot for 1,000 years, leaving a large hollow mark resembling a foot print. Both the peak and the bridge are named after this legend. [2][6]

The name Rama's Bridge or Rama Setu (Sanskrit; setu: bridge) was given to this bridge of shoals in Rameshwaram, as it is believed to be the bridge built by the Vanara (monkey tribe) army of Rama , which he used to reach Lanka and rescue his wife Sita from the Rakshasa king, Ravana, as stated in the Sanskrit epic Ramayana.[6]. The sea separating India and Sri Lanka is called Sethusamudram "Sea of the Bridge". Maps prepared by Netherland cartographer in 1747, available at Tanjore Saraswathi mahal library shows this area as Ramancoil, a colloquial form of the Tamil Raman Kovil (Rama's Temple)[7] Another map of Mogul India prepared by J.Rennel in 1788 retrieved from the same library called this area as the area of the Rama Temple [8] Many other maps in Schwartzberg's historical atlas[9][10] and other sources call this area with various names like Koti, Sethubandha, Sethubandha Rameswaram etc.[11][12][13][14]. Valmiki Ramayan called the bridge built by Lord Rama as Setu Bandhanam in verse 2-22-76[15]. The earliest map that calls this area as Adam's bridge was prepared by British cartographer in 1804
