Space images taken by NASA reveal a mysterious ancient bridge in the Palk Strait between Bharat and Sri Lanka.
The Bridge built by Vanaras to cross over to Lanka is called Ram Setu.
It was impossible to reach Lanka without a land connection and as per Ramayan, the army of Vanaras built Ram Setu which exists even after 7,000 years.

Interesting Fact About The Ramayana
Was the Ram Setu truly built?
The battle of Ramanaya would have never been fought had Shri Ram and his vanar sena not crossed the sea and reached Lanka.
Ramayana says yantraha or mechanical devices were used by the vanara or the monkeys to transport and pile trees, then huge boulders and finally smaller stones to create a causeway.
It took five days and 10 million vanaras (monkeys) under the supervision of architects, Neel and Nala, to build the bridge. The dimensions of the bridge, when it was constructed was 100 yojana (yojana is a Vedic measurement of distance) in length and 10 yojana in breath, making it a ratio of 10:1.
A little-big story
The vanaras were writing Sri Ram on the stone and putting them in water. All the stones were floating.
It is believed, when the name of the Lord is with you, you will not sink.
When Shri Ram saw this, he was so surprised and wanted to try it out for himself. The stone which he wrote on sank. Ram was surprised.
A monkey who saw the whole scene started laughing and told Ram: ‘Those who you throw away from your hands, how they will float? They will only sink!’
Devotees are so much more powerful than the Lord himself!

The bridge from Dhanushkodi in India to Talaimannar in Sri Lanka, as measured in present times is approximately 35 km in length and 3.5 km in breadth, a ratio of 10:1. Even today some floating stones are found on the coastal regions of Rameshwaram. Science has not been able to explain this phenomenon.
The study of oceanography suggests that the Ram Setu is 7,000 years old. And the carbon dating of beaches near Dhanushkodi sync with the date of the Ramayana.
