New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Arichal Munai, the point from where the Ram Setu was built, near Dhanushkodi in Tamil Nadu on Sunday morning, a day ahead of the pran-pratishtha ceremony of Ram Lalla idol in Ayodhya. Modi practiced ‘anulom vilom’ at Arichal Munai Point.
It is widely believed that Dhanushkodi is the point where Lord Ram took the vow to defeat Ravana. It is the holy soil from where Lord Ram proceeded to Lanka.
Modi will also performed puja at Sri Kothandarama Swamy temple. The name Kothandarama means Rama with the bow. It is located in Dhanushkodi. It is said that this is where Ravana’s brother Vibhishana first met Lord Ram and asked him for refuge. Some legends also say that this is the place where Lord Ram conducted the coronation of Vibhishana.
