3. WHAT IS RAM SETU?

4. •In Sanskrit “SETU “ means bridge .
•As it is believed to be constructed by
LORD RAMA it
is known as “RAM SETU “
•It is also called as ADAM’S BRIDGE

5. •It is situated between Pamban
Island and the north western coast
of Sri Lanka.
•Geological evidence suggests that
this bridge is a former land
connection between India and Sri
Lanka.
•The bridge is about 18 miles.

bridge

7. •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 in places, which hinders
navigation.
•It was reportedly passable on foot up
to the 15th century until storms
deepened the channel: temple records
seem to say that Rama’s Bridge was
completely above sea level until it
broke in a cyclone in AD 1480
