Rämasetu in Dhanushkoti
To
reach Dhanuskoti, one has to walk three km along the shores. When I visited the
place taking a taxi from Rämeswaram, I was not aware of the 1964 devastating
cyclone. I wondered why such a significant place was so poorly connected. I
wanted to have the glimpse of the Rämasetu naturally, if it was possible.
Having come to Rämeswaram, I could not have gone back without seeing
Dhanushkoti.
Naturally,
the trip and the experience was rather disappointing, scary and confusing. I
walked along the shores. The waters of Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea were
indeed distinct.

Coming
back to civilisation, much later I read about the 1964 cyclone in a newspaper.
I satisfied myself by seeing the NASA images.

Why am I labeling Dhanushkoti under Temple-Architecture. Because it is of
significance. When I start documenting north India subsequently, I will be
covering River/s, Trees etc. Secondly, isn’t Ramasetu of archaeological
importance?
