A legendary bridge. A timeless mystery. A journey across myth, science and politics.
Stretching like a necklace of sand and coral between India and Sri Lanka, Ram Setu-also called Adam's Bridge-has captivated humanity for centuries. Revered in the Ramayan as the bridge built by Lord Ram's army, this ancient formation has been measured, mapped and debated by explorers, scientists, environmentalists and politicians alike.



In Ram Setu: Memoirs of an Enchanted Bridge, Arup K. Chatterjee brings this fabled structure to life, weaving together sacred lore, colonial history, cutting-edge science and the voices of coastal communities who live in its shadow. From colonial cartographers and modern-day archaeologists to fishermen and climate activists, the book explores how this natural wonder has become a battleground of faith, heritage and geopolitics.



Vivid, deeply researched and beautifully written, this is more than the story of a bridge-it is a meditation on identity, belonging, and the fragile bond between nature and belief. Perfect for readers who love history, mythology and environmental storytelling, Ram Setu takes you on an unforgettable journey across sea, story and time.
