Sri Vadirajaru includes Rama Setu in the Dakshina Prabandha and praises the sacred place and/or its presiding deity, Sri Rama. The reference is retained here in the sequence of Sri Vadirajaru's pilgrimage so that a pilgrim can connect the present-day sacred place with the Kshetra or Tirtha praised in the Tirtha Prabandha.
Sthala Purana: The Ramayana tradition describes the Vanara army constructing a bridge across the ocean under Sri Rama's command to reach Lanka. The place continues to be approached as a sacred destination in its regional pilgrimage tradition. The present guide therefore focuses on the principal deity, tirtha or sacred feature that a pilgrim can identify and visit today, without treating later local traditions as though every detail were stated by Sri Vadirajaru.
Places to See in the Kshetra: Setukkarai, accessible Rameswaram/Dhanushkodi-side Setu points.
Pilgrimage Timings Dhanushkodi Visit: Sunrise to Sunset (entry restricted after dark due to sea tides)
