Amazing Island in India - Rameshwaram Photos...

Pamban Rail Bridge





Pamban rail bridge was opened at 1914. It is 2.3Km length - longest sea bridge in India. It connects the India main land with the rameshwaram island. The central part can lift vertically to allow large ships to pass through. The rail line has been recently upgraded to broad gauge.





























12th Century Temple



The shrine was housed in a thatched hut until the 12th century and the First Masonry Structure was built by the King Parakrama Bahu of Sri Lanka. He constructed the Sanctum around Sri Ramanathaswamy, Sri Viswanathar and Sri Visalakshi. The Setupathy rulers of Ramanathapuram completed the rest of the temple. Udaya Sethupathy and one Vaishya from Nagapattinam built the stone tower of the West Gate and the compound wall. Much of the additions were carried out between the 12th and the 16th centuries.
