Dhanushkodi, Tamil Nadu, India is an abandoned small town at the south-eastern tip of Pamban Island and is the closest point on the Indian coast to Srilanka.
Dhanuskodi is a place famous for the bridge or Ram Setu that helped Lord Rama along with his brother Lakshmana, Hanuman and Ravana’s brother Vibhishana to reach Lanka to rescue Sita from Ravana, a tale from the Hindu epic Ramayana.
Dhanush in translation means bow and Kodi means end which further suggest that Vibhishana had asked Rama to destroy the bridge post victory and Rama did it with a Dhanush (bow) and hence the name.
One can see the Bay of Bengal on the left and the Indian Ocean on the right.
Dhanuskodi must be on everyones bucket list.
