Once upon a time, this Portuguese-built church stood tall in Dhanushkodi, a thriving port town. Today? Just a crumbling ruin—a ghostly reminder of what once was.
But Dhanushkodi isn’t just another lost town. Mythology meets history here. This is where Lord Rama is believed to have built the Ram Sethu bridge to Lanka, marching across the sea to rescue Sita. Mission accomplished, he shot an arrow and destroyed the bridge—at the request of Lanka’s new king, Vibishana.
Centuries later, nature did its own destruction. On December 22, 1964, a massive cyclone swallowed the town, leaving nothing but wreckage. The Indian government abandoned it, declaring it unfit for habitation.
Fifty years on, Dhanushkodi is India’s most famous ghost town. What’s left? A few fishing families, a broken railway track, a ruined temple, a post office, and the skeleton of a church—silent witnesses to a past washed away.
Dhanushkodi, Tamilnadu
