Dhanushkodi – No Land only Sand
Vivek talked about Rameshwaram and Dhanushkodi in his last post and I found that he missed visiting inside Dhanushkodi village. So, my story will start from Dhanushkodi and to your surprise, it will end at Dhanushkodi. We reached Rameshwaram from Madurai about 3:00 PM, we planned to visit Rameshwaram temple in the morning, so we asked our taxi driver Kanan if there is any beach nearby or not, he noded his head and said “Yeeessss” (I liked the way he used to say Yeeessss”), it is 13 KMS from here and called as Dhanushkodi. Without saying anything else, he started towards Dhanushkodi, as Vivek mentioned, it was a 2 lane road, roaring ocean on both side. Left side of the ocean is called “Male” and right side of the ocean is called “Female”, reason, left side is quiet and calm and right side is roaring all the time, my wife and my mother didn’t liked the reason, and neither my daughter – As told by Kannan, no offence please. Well, we reached the beach in an about 45 minutes, on the way, we also visited a temple where Lord Rama performed the “Raj Tilak” of Vibhishan. Kanan told us that this is the beach, it was very deserted, we found a Indian Navy post there a tea stall and a snack shop. Indian Ocean was beautiful, roaring and with high waves. We dared to go deep inside it and also asked kids stay off.
