Adam's Bridge or also Rama Set or Rama Bridge is made up of a cluster of limestone stones. It is located between the island of Pamban (also known as the Rameswaram Island) - its southeast coast of Tamil Nadu (India) and the island of Manar - northwest Sri Lanka.

The Rama Bridge is a former mainland

Geological evidence suggests that this bridge is a former continent connecting India and Sri Lanka today. Name Adam's Bridge is a derivation from a Muslim legend in which it is said that Adam was to go after this bridge on Adam's peak in Sri Lanka.

In India, on the other hand, Adam's Bridge is named after the Hindu myth, which is known as the Rama Bridge or Rama Setu (which is the same in Sanskrit). The Ramayana epic describes how an army of monkeys led by Hanuman built a bridge over which the hero Rama crossed into Sri Lanka to save his wife Sita from the clutches of the kidnapper - the demonic king Ravan.

Orthodox Hindus take the bridge between India and Sri Lanka as evidencethat the stories described in Ramayana are historical events.
