Barely 20 km from the town of Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu,
Dhanushkodi gets its name from Dhanush (bow) and Kodi (end). The name
alludes to an anecdote in the Ramayana, where Lord Rama broke the bridge
constructed by his army of monkeys between the mainland and the island
of Lanka with a stroke of his bow. Barely 50 yards long, Dhanushkodi is
the sole terrestrial border between India and Sri Lanka. It was
inhabited until 1964, when a terrible cyclone wrecked the village and
swept a passenger train into the sea. Though Dhanushkodi today is a
ghost town, it is still visited by pilgrims. Yahoo! reader J MADHU
RANTHAKAN presents a photographic travelogue of a journey to land’s end.

Temple to bathe in the holy wells and in the sea. It is a well-known
pilgrimage site. Only a few, though, know the mythological and
historical importance of nearby Dhanushkodi.

Rameswaram. It was on this island in January 1897 that Swami
Vivekananda, after his triumphant visit to Chicago to attend the
Parliament of Religions in September 1893, set foot on Indian soil from
Colombo.
The walls of the church still stand.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism

Cheapest flight to MAA can be booked in lots of ways. The best way visibly is to book early. Major airlines present huge rebates on fares for flyers who book their ticket well in move on of their planned day/date of flying.
ReplyDeleteI have been surfing online greater than 3 hours nowadays, but I never discovered any interesting article like yours.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful price enough for me. In my view, if all site owners
and bloggers made good content as you probably did,
the internet might be a lot more useful than ever
before.
