Adam’s Bridge, also known as Rama’s Bridge or Ram Setu in Nepali, is a natural bridge-like formation of sandbanks and shoals that connects the island of Rameswaram in India to the Mannar Island in Sri Lanka. It is believed to be the bridge mentioned in the Hindu epic Ramayana, built by Lord Rama and his army of monkeys and bears to reach Lanka and rescue his wife, Sita, from the demon king Ravana.
The bridge is approximately 50 kilometers long and is considered a significant cultural and religious site for Hindus. It has been a subject of scientific and archaeological interest, with debates surrounding its origin and formation. While some believe it to be a natural formation, others argue that it is a man-made structure.
Despite the controversies, Adam’s Bridge remains an important landmark and a symbol of the ancient Hindu mythology and history.
