After Effects Of Sethu Bandhan (Rama Varadhi)

Part 4

in a period of 17,50,000 years

After Effects Of Sethu Bandhan

Due to rotation of Earth and due to gravitational pull of Sun and Moon the

variations in sea tide moves from east to west. Sands washed from various rivers of

Bangladesh and east coast of India, falling into Bay of Bengal move along the coast partially deposited on sea shores and the rest tends to moves towards the Equator eastwards.

Prior to Setubandhan the sand moved freely into the Indian Ocean.

Rama Varadhi the Setu blocked drifting sands from various rivers falling into Bay of Bengal deposited on the Indian east coast,

north of Sri Lanka and in Palk bay in a period of 17,50,000 years

Complete strip of Setubandhan made by Rama is from Ramananthapuram in Tamil Nadu

to Mannar in Srilanka.

Probably the original bridge made by Rama had a

continues curve upward from Ramananta puram

to Manar in Srilanka

Probably the Curve may be upwards against the sea currents when it was made. In this 17,50,000 years it might

have bent down wards due to pressure of drifting sands.

Probably the original bridge

The anchored stones of the floating bridge

attained a shape like Dhanush (bow) due to pressure of sands

prevented from drifting into deep sea of Indian Ocean.

After Effects Of Sethu Bandhan

Notice the Curve bent towards Indian Ocean due to pressure of drifting sands

from Palkbay to Indian Ocean

This part was the floating bridge built by Rama. In course of time the floating part got washed away by the sea. Now the stones visible are the

anchoring stones of the bridge

What is visible from Satellite and attained the name Adams Bridge is the shoal of rocks used as anchors for the floating bridge by Rama.

On passage of time the wooden floating bridge perished.

Chilika Lake once a part of sea, was formed due to sand dune formation in a period of 1,750,000 years.

Probable Coast

17,50,000 years back

Sand and silt probably deposited along the coast to form huge deltas along Rivers Godavari and

Krishna, in a period of 17,50,000 years.

Sand and silt probably deposited along the coast to form huge deltas along the River Kaveri

in a period of 17,50,000 years.

Notice the size of the deltas much bigger than Krishna

Sand and silt probably deposited along the coast to form huge deltas along the River Kaveri in a period of 17,50,000 years.

Notice the size of the deltas much bigger than Godavari and Krishna

The deltas formed by Rivers Narmada and Tapi in west coast are very small compared to the Rivers in East coast.

The deltas of Narmada and tapti are very small. The size of the delta of Kaveri is much larger than Krishna and Godavari.

Notice the increase in length of deltas from Godavari to Kaveri.
