how the Adams bridge was formed?..

Answer / maruthi narasimha

We can also call this bridge as RAMA'S bridge or RAMA
SETHU.This bridge seperates India and Srilanka connecting
between the cities Rameswaram and Mannar.This area Adam's
bridge was prepared by a British cartographer in 1804,
probably referring to an Islamic legend, according to which
Adam used the bridge to reach Adam's Peak in Sri Lanka,
where he stood repentant on one foot for 1,000 years,
leaving a large hollow mark resembling a footprint. Both
the peak and the bridge are named after this legend. This
bridge was first mentioned in sanskrit epic called
RAMAYANA.This sea also known as SETHUSAMUDRAM means sea of
the bridge.

This bridge is made up of chain of limestone shooals.Based
on ramayana this bridge was built by vanara,army of lord
RAMA.
