Guess this place? Ghost Town!

At the tip of South India, there lies a beautiful beach No one lives there and it's quite hard to reach! 5000 years ago, here Lord Rama had crossed.. Looking for his wife Sita, who was lost Ravana had taken her to Lanka, across the mighty ocean How could Rama reach there, for he had no magic potion?

Ravana had crossed it in his flying machine, for he was rich! But Lord Rama was poor, so he had to build a bridge. Lord Rama and his vaanar sena began building a bridge of floating stones Back in Lanka, when Vibheeshana heard this, he got afraid and moaned!

But arrogant Ravana refused to listen to his brother So Vibheeshana left Lanka to join the camp - other! Finally, the bridge was ready, but Lord Rama's army was in fear To calm them, and for good luck, to Lord Shiva did Rama send a prayer..

All this happened at Dhanushkodi, a place that is a ghost town People used to live there, until the place was destroyed by a cyclone Even now, the temple here has the miraculous floating stones You can reach here by jeep which rides in the water deep, but the ride may make your bones groan!
