Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday visited Arichal Munai point in Tamil Nadu's, which is said to be the place from where the Ram Setu started and paid floral tributes at the seashore. 

Ram Setu which is also known as Adam's Bridge, is believed to have been constructed by Hindu God Ram with the help of the 'Vaanara sena' to travel to Lanka to wage war against Ravana. Arichal Munai is a southern tip in Tamil Nadu. 

PM Modi visited the southern tip as part of his Ramayana-connect visits in the state and did 'pranayama' (breathing exercise) there, the ANI reported. He then laid flowers on the beach and also paid floral tributes at a pillar erected there with the national emblem. 

PM Modi stayed at Rameswaram overnight and drove to Arichal Munai. PM Modi also visited Dhanushkodi, which is believed to be the place from where the Hindu God Ram took a vow to defeat Ravana.

 

This visit to Tamil Nadu temples with a Ramayana connect comes just ahead of the Ram Temple Pran Pratishtha event scheduled for January 22 (Monday). Earlier this week, PM Modi also visited temples in Andhra Pradesh and Kerala that are relevant to the Ramayana.

PM Modi on Sunday will conclude his 3-day tour of Tamil Nadu, during which he inaugurated the Khelo India Games 2023 in Chennai on Friday. On Saturday, the prime minister visited the Sri Ranganathaswamy and Arulmigu Ramanathaswamy temples in Srirangam and Rameswaram , respectively.

PM Modi has been observing an 11-day code that involves meditation to purify the mind, body, and spirit, as well as a strict 'sattvic' diet (consisting entirely of vegetarian fare and avoiding any onion and garlic-containing foods).
