The southern most tip of the island Dhanuskodi was completely washed away by the 1964 cyclone, to reach Sethu Theertham at Dhanuskodi, one has to walk 3 km along the shores.
Sethu is a Sanskrit word to denot a bridge or cause way. It has now acquired special significance to mean the bridge across the ocean constructed and used by Rama to reach Srilanka. It is said that, at the request of vibhishana and Ally of Rama, Rama broke the Sethu with one end of his bow and hence the name Dhanuskodi (Dhanus-Bow, Kodi-End) has come. Sethu Theertha is a 3 km from Dhanuskodi bus stand. There is also available local van. A dip in Sethu is considered very holy.
