'''Dhanushkodi Tirtham''' is one of the Tirthas in the island of [[Rameswaram]], [[Tamil Nadu]], [[India]]. This is located beside the ghost town of [[Dhanushkodi]] at the easternmost tip of Rameswaram Island. Rama used his bow's (Dhanush) end (Kodi) to break the bridge - [[Rama Setu]](hence the name). This bridge was used for his army to cross over to Lanka for the victorious war against Ravana.<ref name="seturaman222">Seturaman (2001), p. 222</ref><br />
