The Ram Setu is a 48 km long stretch between Rameswaram Island in India and Mannar Island in Sri Lanka. Both these places are well-connected with the mainland by railways and roads.

The famous Adam's Bridge parts the Gulf of Mannar (south) and the Palk Strait (north). The Gulf of Mannar is an inlet of the Indian Ocean and the Palk Strait is an inlet of the Bay of Bengal, according to a report by ABP LIVE.
