The morning light was magical and turned the granite pillars into sheer gold. I can still remember the scene !!!
எட்டுத் திசையும்ஒன்றாய் இன்பமாய் நின்றவுன்னை
விட்டுப் பிரியவிடம் வேறோ பராபரமே !!!
தாயுமானவர் பராபரக்கண்ணி

Dhanushkodi is an abandoned town at the south-eastern tip of Pamban Island of the state of Tamil Nadu in India. It is south-east of Pamban and is about 24 kilometres (15 miles) west of Talaimannar in Sri Lanka. The town was destroyed during the 1964 Rameswaram cyclone and remains uninhabited in the aftermath.
Vivekananda Rock Memorial is a monument and popular tourist attraction in Kanyakumari, India. The memorial stands on one of two rocks located about 500 meters off mainland, India's southernmost tip.
It was built in honour of the visit of the great spiritual teacher Swami Vivekananda (1892 ) for deep meditation and enlightenment. He swam to this rock and meditated about the past, present and future of India. It is said that he attained enlightenment on the rock, and henceforth became a reformer and philosopher.
The merger of three seas - Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean can be seen from these rocks.

View On Black The one place that always humbles and puts my well developed ego in its place must be Dhanushkodi. The never ending sand dunes; the vastness of Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean surrounding this narrow strip of land; the ruins from this one time bustling town washed away like it never mattered; the plight of my tamil brothers and sisters when they arrive here seeking aslyum, the two hundred and fifty fishermen family that live here with no access to roads, electricity, or drinking water. (Dhanushkodi (Rameswaram), TN)
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 most exciting shot i have clicked till date., the journey to reach there before Sunset was my MI4...
If I'm correct then this is the only LHB train passing through Pamban Bridge in broad daylight but I wondered that when I googled about this train not a single picture with such scenario found. Why so? 🤔

“The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?”
