Dhánuškódí

Dhánuškódí (tamilsky தனுஷ்கோடி) je opuštěné město, které se nacházelo na ostrově Pamban v jižní Indii, ve státě Tamilnádu, v blízkosti Adamova mostu (Rama Setu). Dhánuškódí se nachází 20 kilometrů jihovýchodně od poutního města Raméšvarám, asi čtyři kilometry od konce písečné kosy, která vede z ostrova Pamban východním směrem k Adamovu mostu, řetězci ostrovů a písečných břehů mezi Indií a Srí Lankou. Dhánuškódí je nejbližší místo v Indii směrem ke Srí Lance: vzdálenost do Talaimannaru na druhé straně činí pouhých 30 km. Město, které bylo zároveň původní konečnou stanicí železniční trati Manamaduraj–Raméšvarám, bylo v roce 1964 zničeno cyklónem a nebylo již nikdy obnoveno. Vláda státu Tamilnádu označila lokalitu za nevhodnou k trvalému osídlení. Poněkud odlehlé město mělo svůj význam především pro výkon náboženských poutí. Věřící se zde koupou v moři. Během existence britské koloniální správy nad Indií, sem byla postavena železniční trať, která měla pokračovat přes Adamův most dále na ostrov Cejlon (dnes Srí Lanka). Nebyla však nikdy vybudována. Část okolí se ponořila pod mořskou hladinu; z původních budov zde zůstal jen zničený kostel, ruiny bývalého nádraží a několik budov, které jsou ponechány jako memento přírodní katastrofy. Místo kromě věřících občas navštěvují turisté. Od roku 2016 vede do Dhánuškódí asfaltová silnice. Odkazy Reference Externí odkazy Obrázky, zvuky či videa k tématu Dhánuškódí na Wikimedia Commons
Dhanushkodi

Dhanushkodi is an abandoned town at the south-eastern tip of Pamban Island of the state of Tamil Nadu in India. It is south-east of Pamban and is about 24 kilometres (15 mi) west of Talaimannar in Sri Lanka. The town was destroyed during the 1964 Rameswaram cyclone and remains uninhabited in the aftermath. Although devoid of inhabitants, Dhanushkodi remains a tourist attraction due to its historical and mythological relevance. Geography Dhanushkodi is on the tip of Pamban island, separated from the Indian mainland by the Palk Strait. Transport The National Highway completed the 9.5 km long (5.9 mi) road from Mukuntharayar Chathiram to Dhanushkodi and 4.5 km (2.8 mi) from Dhanushkodi to Arichal Munai. Until 2016, Dhanushkodi was reachable either on foot along the seashore or in jeeps. In 2016, a road was completed from the village of Mukundarayar Chathiram. A metre gauge railway line connected Mandapam on mainland India to Dhanushkodi. Boat mail express ran from Chennai Egmore to Dhanushkodi till 1964 when the metre-gauge branch line from Pamban to Dhanushkodi was destroyed during the 1964 Dhanushkodi cyclone. In 2003, Southern Railway sent a project report to Ministry of Railways for re-laying a 16-kilometre (9.9 mi) railway line to Dhanushkodi from Rameswaram. The planning commission looked into the possibility of a new railway line between Dhanushkodi and Rameswaram in 2010. 1964 cyclone The area around Rameswaram is prone to high-intensity geomorphic activity. A scientific study conducted by the Geological Survey of India indicated that the southern part of Dhanushkodi facing the Gulf of Mannar sank by almost 5 metres (16 ft) in 1948 and 1949, due to vertical tectonic movement of land parallel to the coastline. As a result of this, a patch of land of about 0.5 kilometres (0.31 mi) in width, stretching 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) from north to south, was submerged under the sea. On 17 December 1964, a tropical depression formed at 5°N 93°E in the South Andaman Sea. On 19 December, it intensified into a cyclonic storm. After 21 December 1964, it moved westwards, almost in a straight line, at the rate of 400 to 550 kilometres (250 to 340 mi) per day. On 22 December, it crossed Vavuniya in Sri Lanka and made landfall at Dhanushkodi on the night of 22–23 December 1964. Estimated wind velocity was 280 kilometres per hour (170 mph) and tidal waves were 7 metres (23 ft) high. An estimated 1,800 people died in the cyclonic storm on 22 December including 115 passengers on board the Pamban-Dhanushkodi passenger train. The entire town was marooned and the Government of Madras declared Dhanushkodi as a ghost town, unfit for living. Around the 40th anniversary of the deadly cyclone, the sea around Dhanushkodi receded about 500 metres (1,600 ft) from the coastline, briefly exposing the submerged part of the town before massive tsunami waves struck the coast on 26 December 2004.

Dhanushkodi

Dhanushkodi est une ville fantôme d'Inde située à la pointe sud-est de l'île de Pamban, dans l'État du Tamil Nadu. Elle se situe sur le golfe de Mannar, sur le Pont d'Adam, faisant face à la localité de Talaimannar au Sri Lanka. La ville a été détruite lors du Cyclone de Rameswaram de 1964 (en) et est restée inhabitée par la suite, envahie partiellement par les eaux. Notes et références Liens externes Portail de l’Inde
Dhanushkodi

Dhanushkodi é uma cidade fantasma na ponta sudeste da ilha de Pamban, no estado de Tamil Nadu, no sul de Índia. Situa-se a aproximadamente 18 milhas (29 km) a oeste de Talaimannar, no Sri Lanka. A localidade foi destruída após o ciclone de Rameswaram, tornando-se desde então desabitada. O ciclone de 1964 A área de Rameswaram é propensa a atividade geomórfica de alta intensidade. Um estudo científico conduzido pelo Geological Survey of India (Instituto de Pesquisa Geológica da Índia) indicou que a parte sul de Dhanushkodi, diante do Golfo de Mannar afundara quase 5 m em 1948 e 1949, em função do movimento tectônico vertical da terra paralela à costa. Como resultado, um pedaço de terra com aproximadamente 500 m de largura, estendendo-se por quase 7 km de norte a sul, submergiu no mar. Em 17 de dezembro de 1964, uma depressão formou-se em 5°N 93°E no Mar do Sul de Andaman. Em 19 de dezembro, esta intensificou-se ao passar à condição de tempestade ciclônica. Após 21 de dezembro, a tempestade moveu-se para oeste, quase em linha reta, a aproximadamente 400-500 km por dia. Em 22 de dezembro, cruzou Vavunia no Sri Lanka e tocou em cheio Dhanushkodi na noite de 22 para 23 de dezembro de 1966. A estimativa de velocidade do vento foi de 280 km/h e ondas de maré chegaram a 7 m de altura. Aproximadamente 1 800 morreram na tempestade, inclusos 115 passageiros a bordo do trem que ligava Pamban a Dhanushkodi. A cidade foi inteiramente abandonada e o governo do então estado de Madras declarou Dhanushkodi como cidade fantasma, completamente inabitável. Em dezembro de 2004, o mar em torno de Dhanushkodi retrocedeu aproximadamente 500 m da linha da costa, expondo a parte submersa da cidade por um momento antes das ondas do massivo tsunami atingirem a costa. Geografia Dhanushkodi localiza-se na ponta da ilha de Pamban, separada do continente pelo Estreito de Palk. Ali também se situa a única fronteira terrestre entre a Índia e o Sri Lanka, uma das menores do mundo, com 45 m em um banco de areia no estreito de Palk. Transporte Existe uma ligação rodoviária de 9,5 km de Mukuntharayar Chathiram a Dhanushkodi e de 4,5 km de Dhanushkodi a Arichamunai. É possível a visita turística até os Pilares de Ashoka. Até 2016, podia-se chegar a Dhanushkodi a pé ao longo da costa ou em jipes. Em 2016, foi completada a rodovia de Mukundarayar Chathiram. Uma ferrovia em bitola métrica ligava Mandapam no continente a Dhanushkodi. O serviço de correio marítimo vinha de Madras (hoje Chennai) a Dhanushkodi até 1964, quando a tempestade ciclônica daquele ano destruiu a ligação de Pamban ta Dhanushkodi. Em 2003, a secção sul da Indian Railways propôs ao Ministério de Ferrovias a reconstrução de 16 km de linha, religando Dhanushkodi a Rameswaram. Em 2010, a comissão de planejamento estudou a possibilidade de restabelecer essa ligação. Referências Ligações externas Artigo de Viagem - Dhanushkodi (em inglês)

Talikotta Mahadeva Temple

Talikotta Mahadeva Temple or Thaliyil Mahadeva Temple, an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva is located on the banks of Meenachil River on Kottayam - Kumarakom Road in Kottayam District in Kerala state in India. The Keezhtali Mahadeva Temple is one of the important temples in Thekkumkur Kingdom. According to folklore, sage Parashurama has installed the idol of Shiva. The temple is a part of the 108 Shiva Temples in Kerala. The temple is one of the four thali temples mentioned in the 108 Shiva temple sothram (1. Tali Temple, Kozhikkode, 2. Kaduthruthy Mahadeva Temple, Kottayam, 3. Keezhtali Mahadeva Temple, Kodungallur, 4. Talikotta Mahadeva Temple, Kottayam.) The temple houses Lord Shiva in his most angry form. There are sub-shrines for Ganapathi, Ayyappan and Bhadrakali in the temple. History The Thalikotta Mahadeva Temple is near Uppoottikkavala at Thazhathangadi in Kottayam Taluk. It was an important place of worship for the erstwhile Thekkumkur Kingdom. Thekkumkoor kingdom of the 11th century comprised Kottayam, Changanassery and Thiruvalla and High range areas like Mundakkayam and Kanjirapally. After Venimala, Manikandapuram and Changanassery, the capital of thekumkoor become Talikota in the bank of Meenchil River. The temple and the royal house was protected by a fort known as Thaliyilkotta and as a result the locality came to be known in the same name as the fort. On a later stage, Tekkumkoor kings shifted their royal house to Nattassery (Near Kumaranalloor) on the outskirts of Kottayam town. After the Changanassery War in 1750, military operations of Marthanda Varma progressed against the Thalikotta fort and palace at Thaliyanthanapuram (Kottayam). Though Thekkumkoor allied with Chempakassery and Vadakkumkoor to protect the kingdom, all of them were finally annexed to Travancore. References
