Nava Pashanam at Devipattanam and Sethukarai


We proceeded to Sethukarai, literally translated as 'Shore of the bridge', where Lord Hanuman is said to have meditated for a way of reaching Lanka and got the thought of the bridge across the ocean. Our contact told us country boats would take us to the place where the bridge existed (someone told me that the best time to go was when the sun shone brightly, so as to see the coral reef or the Rama Setu). Alas, it was almost dark, though the wind was friendly, and that was it. Hope you'll like the pictures!

Pamban Bridge


On our way to Madurai from Rameswaram, we stopped to have a look at the Pamban bridge, a lower- than Road over bridge level steel girder railway bridge which opens in the middle to let steamers and trawlers pass. We were very lucky to see the bridge open. I was excited, I'm sure you'd be, too!



I told you of the Pamban bridge, right?

The Flat Sea of Dhanushkodi


We went on a pilgrimage to Rameswaram in December, 2010. I had no idea of a great experience with Samudra when I left for the place. Wow, it was a case of 'Water, water everywhere'!

The Sands of the Sea at Chowara, Thiruvananthapuram


On the second day in Trivandrum, we visited a backwater place, Kairali, and then went to Chowara, a virgin beach not many know of. Yes, the silvery sands were enchanting, and, I thought I clicked some better pictures with the manual settings on my 'Point & Shoot' camera. The ones featuring the Sun and the Sea have been covered, and so, please have a look at the sea and the sands! Hope you've enjoyed the pictures!
