Vibheeshan Theerth.

There are several Theerthams ---sacred water bodies, in and around Rameshwaram town.

On the way to Vibeeshan theertham , the beach where Vibheeshan's cornation by Lakhmana at the behest of Rama took place,before the war with Ravana, the young driver with a ready smile of the' tourist friendly' auto pointed at the rusted rail tracks lying on the road side ,amidst thick and brooding casuarina forests ,and said that they were retained as the momento's of the terrible cyclone of 1964 that had wiped out Dhanushkodi village and the railway lines leading to it ,as well. The tracks have not been restored. A road connects the place now.

Sri Lanka is but 20 kms , as the crow flies , from Vibheeshan Theerth.
