👍👍 this is near the Koneswaram temple where Ravan tried to saw the mountain with his sword to carry the temple to his mother who was sick. Shiv was enraged and put his finger on the swrod and it cut through the rock and fell into the sea. His mother died while he was doing this and so he left that midw...

    this is near the Koneswaram temple where Ravan tried to saw the mountain with his sword to carry the temple to his mother who was sick. Shiv was enraged and put his finger on the swrod and it cut through the rock and fell into the sea. His mother died while he was doing this and so he left that midway. Just a cut in the rocks but good to peer at the sea from here. it is right at the entrance of the koneswarama temple

    This abyss is situated close to the Koneswaram Kovil. According to the legends, this abyss has been created by King Ravana. The abyss adds more value to the view of Indian Ocean. It is a bit dangerous to go close to the abyss, hence caution must be observed.

    Ravanan, the antagonistic figure in the Sanskritised Hindu story of the Ramayana is widely celebrated as a Dravidian and Tamil icon in Tamil counter-culture. Hailed both as a king of Eelam and a devotee of Siva, Ravanan is also believed to have built the original, ancient temple of Thirukoneswaram in Trincomalee.

    This place is also called as the Ravana Kapuma. It is almost near to the koneshwaram temple. There is a historical story behind this place. King Ravana tried to cut the mountain with his sword but couldnt complete due to the interference of Lord Shiva. You can know the whole story inside the temple which are drawn on the walls.
