Preserving legacy of Ram! Indian envoy to Sri Lanka offers prayers at Ram Setu

 

Earlier in the day, Baglay also visited the Thiruketeeswaram Temple in Northern Province and attended the Mahashivratri puja in Sri Lanka. The Indian High Commission in Sri Lanka had stated through a tweet that, "High Commissioner offered prayers at Ramsethu -the connecting bridge between India and Sri Lanka for centuries. He prayed for reinforcement of strong bonds between the people of India and Sri Lanka, recalling their millennia-old links and the role of historical structures in creating these links.

 

Ram Setu, is often referred to with several names of Rama’s Bridge, Adam’s Bridge, Nala Setu and Setu Band. The structure is a chain of shoals between Pamban Island (Rameswaram Island) off the south-eastern coast of India and Mannar Island off the north-western coast of Sri Lanka. There have been several developments regarding the Ram Setu and India- Sri Lanka relations. Recently, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has cleared a long pending research proposal involving the Ram Setu. The project involves an underwater exploration that is to determine the age of the Ram Setu and the process of its formation.

 

 

 

The geological evidence collected until now suggests that the chain of shoals between Pamban Island in Tamil Nadu of India and Mannar Island in Sri Lanka is a former land connection between India and Sri Lanka. Further research will explain the details of the land connection between the two lands. However, with the Indian envoy offering prayers at the Ram Setu, India has reiterated its stand forth the world for the firm belief of the ancient culture of the country and the belief of Dharma.
