In this way Nala the foremost Vanara ,the glorious offering of Vishwakarma along with the Vanara Sena set up a bridge across the sea.
This lovely glorious bridge looked charming like the milky way in space.
The Devata & Ganfharvas gazed on the bridge constructed by Nala which

The Rama Setu length & breadth ratio is 10:1 even today.
There are many tectonic & geological changes have been taken place from the time of Ramayana till dates.
This is how Kedarnath temple has been constructed by our ancient architectures.
Imagine how strong the architecture is that the Temple stands high even after the most powerful Uttarakhand Disaster.
The ashlar style is used where stone slab are interlocked to each other without the use of any joining material.

A very unique Shivalinga,Mahadev Shiva standing on Apasmara in the Parasurameswara Temple in Guddimallam, Near Tirupati is consider as one of the oldest Shivalaya built in 3rd century BC.
Do you know the significance of Shiva Dancing on the Dwarf Demon Apasmara.
Apasmara also known as Muyalaka is a demon who represent ignorance,selfishness & nonsensical speech.He was dwarf but powerful in his malingnity , small-mindness & greediness.
Shiva wanted to kill Apasmara but he realised to preserve knowledge in the universe Apasmara must
be subdued not to k!ll. In a world without ignorance, all the knowledge would come to everyone with out any effort & dedication & hard work & would become valueless.
So instead of vanquish him Mahadev suppressed Apasmara by crushing him with his foot.
