A devotee making a circumambulation in the corridors of Ramanathaswamy temple, Rameshwaram, Tamilnadu !!
In Hindu temples there will be corridors (Praharam) on all the four sides around the sanctum sanctorum and the devotees, after seeing the God, will walk in the corridors in a clockwise direction. (Parikrama)
கடலிடை மலைகள் தம்மால்
அடைத்துமால் கருமம் முற்றித்
திடலிடைச் செய்த கோயில்
திருஇரா மேச்சு ரத்தைத்
தொடலிடை வைத்து நாவிற்
சுழல்கின்றேன் தூய்மை யின்றி
உடலிடை நின்றும் பேரா
ஐவர்ஆட் டுண்டு நானே !!!

Last week I got an opportunity to visit Rameshwaram, one of the holiest cities of India.
The main attraction of the huge temple in Rameshwaram is the long corridors with pillars around the temple on four sides, and the longest side measures 690 feet. It is known to be the world's longest corridor. It was built by Muthu Ramalinga Sethupathy in 18th century.
You would love to see this on Black here with F11.

The Pamban Bridge is a railway bridge on the Palk Strait which connects the town of Rameswaram on Pamban Island to mainland India.Its ranked as one of the most dangerous railway tracks on earth.Indian Railways have been known for achieving engineering feats.The rail bridge is for the most part, a conventional bridge resting on concrete piers, but has a double leaf bascule section midway, which can be raised to let ships and barges pass through.It is the second longest sea bridge in India after the 2.3-km Bandra-Worli sea link on Mumbai's western coast.It is an engineering marvel that evokes awe.Few can forget a train journey on the Pamban bridge,With 143 piers, spanning 2 km between the Rameswaram island to the mainland.

Dhanushkodi has the only land border between India and Sri Lanka which is one of the smallest in the world-just 45 meters in length on a shoal in Palk Strait. Before the 1964 cyclone, Dhanushkodi was a flourishing tourist and pilgrimage town. Since Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) is just 19 miles (31 km) away, there were many ferry services between Dhanushkodi and Talaimannar of Ceylon, transporting travellers and goods across the sea. There were hotels, textile shops and dharmashalas catering to these pilgrims and travellers. The railway line to Dhanushkodi—which did not touch Rameswaram then and was destroyed in the 1964 cyclone—went directly from Mandapam to Dhanushkodi. Dhanushkodi in those days had a railway station, a small railway hospital, primary schools, a post office, customs and port offices, and other buildings
The Pamban rail bridge, an engineering marvel and India’s first cantilever bridge.
The 2.06 km long bridge, the second longest sea bridge after Bandra-Worli sea link was thrown open to traffic in 1914 and is still going strong, providing the much needed rail connectivity to the pilgrim centre of Rameswaram.
Located at the world’s second highly corrosive environment, next to Mexico, the bridge was constructed amid challenges. Having survived the devastating 1964 cyclonic storm

The outer set of corridors is reputed to be the longest in the world being about 6.9 m height, 400 feet in each in the east and west and about 640 feet in north and south and inner corridors are about 224 feet in east and west and about 352 feet each in north and south.
The Pamban Bridge is a railway bridge on the Palk Strait which connects the town of Rameswaram on Pamban Island to mainland India. The bridge refers to both the road bridge and the cantilever railway bridge, though primarily it means the latter.
