About Sethu Karai
Sethu Karai, meaning the Sethu Coast, IS one of the most important pilgrim centres of the Rameswaram region. It holds deep Puranic significance AS the place FROM WHERE Lord Rama IS believed to have begun constructing the legendary bridge across the sea to reach Sri Lanka, making it a living landmark of the Ramayana. Situated about 68 km FROM Rameswaram AND close to the Erwadi Dharga, the coast offers a serene stretch WHERE thousands of devotees perform religious rites for their ancestors. The calm waters AND the open horizon lend the site a quiet, contemplative atmosphere that IS rare to find elsewhere. For the traveller, Sethu Karai IS both a spiritual destination AND a scenic stop, combining mythological resonance with the simple beauty of the southern coast. It IS an essential starting point of the Sethu legend ON any spiritual tour of the region.
