Due to being important from the commercial, diplomatic and strategic point of view, a large number of soldiers are stationed here. A mythological story related to Lord Rama is also prevalent here. The Bay of Bengal looks quite calm from this place. At the same time, very strong waves arise in the Gulf of Mannar. It is believed that when Lord Rama asked for away from the sea to go to Lanka, he refused to show the way to the Lord.
After this, the Lord got angry and took up his bow and arrow. Seeing this, the ocean apologized to Lord Rama for his mistake and showed him the way. Since that time the sea on one side is calm and on the other side, quite huge waves keep rising.
