Dhanushkodi, a once-bustling town in Tamil Nadu, met a tragic fate due to a devastating cyclone in 1964. Once a major port facilitating trade and travel to Sri Lanka, its ruins now stand as a poignant reminder of nature's wrath and the fragility of existence. In stark contrast, the nearby town of Rameswaram is rich with pilgrimage significance.
