Answer 2

Rama's Bridge, also called Adam's bridge or Nala'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. The bridge is 30 miles (48 km) long and separates the Gulf of Mannar (southwest) from the Palk Strait (northeast). Some of the sandbanks are dry and the sea in the area is very shallow, being only 3 ft to 30 ft (1 m to 10 m) deep. This seriously hinders navigation. It was reportedly passable on foot as late as the 15th century until storms deepened the channel. A ferry links the island and port of Rameswaram in India with Talaimannar in Sri Lanka; the Pamban Bridge links Rameswaram island with mainland India.

The names Rama's Bridge and Nala's Bridge originate in Hindu mythology. According to the Hindu epic Ramayana (Chapter 66, The Great Causeway [1]), the bridge was constructed at Rama's request by his subjects, including the Vanara Sena (army of monkeys), led by Nala, son of the architect-god Visvakarman. The bridge was supported on floating rocks but the gods were said to have later anchored the rocks to the sea bed, thus creating the present chain of rocky shoals. It was said to have helped Rama to reach Sri Lanka to rescue Sita from a monster(aasur) called Ravana, who was then the ruler of Lanka.

Some Hindu groups claim that the bridge is evidence that events narrated in the Ramayana epic actually took place

Archeological studies of the bridge are ongoing, and some archeologists claim to have found evidence suggesting that the bridge is man-made. For instance, some researchers from Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, announced that the "bridge" is only 3,500 years old.

Sea levels rose about 10 or 20 metres in the 6th millennium BCE to reach levels similar to today, so in 6000 BCE the bridge would have been an isthmus situated above sea level. As such, it almost certainly would have been a viable route for humans to have reached Sri Lanka by dry land.

Answer 3

What bridge? I thought the bridge was from Ramayana built by Lord Ram and the Vanar tribes of India.

Does it exist now? It was washed away I think.

Is there a new bridge?

Sri Lanka is in bad shape. Did someone blow up the bridge?

Are you an architect? Are you building one? Hey send me some pics. Lets have a look.

Answer 4

Are you just checking to see who knows about it sitting there just under the water made of huge boulders? Or are you just not bothering to give people any indication of what you are talking about?

I love it. Hanuman did a great job for the short time he had available. We could use him for rebuilding the Twin Towers. ;)

I have to say that it is an impressive sight, and encourage others to take a look.

I've actually seen underwater photos of the boulders, and know from other sources that it was there before I saw any photographic evidence.
