It is a chain of limestone shoals, between  Pamban Island, also known as Rameswaram Island, off the southeastern  coast of Tamil Nadu, India, and Mannar Island, off the northwestern  coast of Sri Lanka. The bridge is 30 km / 19 miles long. It was  reportedly passable on foot up to the 15th century until storms deepened  the channel: temple records seem to say that Rama’s Bridge was  completely above sea level until it broke in a cyclone in AD 1480. ** Age ** Investigation by the Centre for Remote Sensing (CRS) of Bharathidasan  University, Tiruchi, led by Professor S.M. Ramasamy dates the structure  to 3,500 years. In the same study, carbon dating of some ancient beaches  between Thiruthuraipoondi and Kodiyakarai shows the Thiruthuraipoondi  beach dates back to 6,000 years and Kodiyakarai around 1,100 years ago.  Another study suggests that the appearance of the reefs and other  evidence indicate their recency, and a coral sample gives a radiocarbon  age of 4,020±160 years BP The discovery of the bridge is  strengthening the record contained in the ancient books of the Ramayana  (about Rama and Sita). From the shape and composition, the bridge is not  made because of natural events, but rather the result of man-made. The  discovery of this bridge will be a crucial aspect for the confirmation  of the Ramayana legend that is expected to occur at the time of Tredha  Yuga. In the legend of the Ramayana, it is mentioned that the bridge was  built from India by the human ape (Vanara) to Sri Lanka over the  command of Rama. This bridge used by Rama to rescue his wife Sita from  Ravana. ** Demolition? ** In 2001, the Government of India  approved a multi-million dollar Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project  that aims to create a ship channel across the Palk Strait by dredging  the shallow ocean floor near Dhanushkodi. The channel is expected to cut  over 400 km off the voyage around the island of Sri Lanka. This  proposed channel's current alignment requires dredging through Rama's  Bridge, a proposal, which was met with strong opposition by the Hindus  of India.  However, an article from November 2014 announced that RAMA SETHU won’t be demolished. ** RAMAYANA ** The Ramayana is one of the two great Indian epics, the other being the  Mahabharata. The Ramayana tells about life in India around 1000 BCE and  offers models in dharma. The hero, Rama, lived his whole life by the  rules of dharma; in fact, that was why Indian consider him heroic. When  Rama was a young boy, he was the perfect son. Later he was an ideal  husband to his faithful wife, Sita, and a responsible ruler of Ayodhya.  "Be as Rama," young Indians have been taught for 2,000 years; "Be as  Sita.</blockquote>
