Adam's Bridge also known as Ram Setu (from
Sanskrit:) 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. Hindus believe that this bridge was built by
Rama incarnation of Lord
Vishnu to rescue his consort
Sita who was abducted to Lanka by
Ravana, as mentioned in the
Ramayana. Many historical inscriptions, coins, old travel guides, old dictionary references, old religious maps indicate that this structure is considered as sacred by Hindus. Geological evidence indicates that this bridge acted as former land connection between India and Sri Lanka.
