The shores of Dhanushkodi

The shores of Dhanushkodi, kissed by the frothy waves of the Indian Ocean, bear the silent echoes of a vibrant past. Once a bustling town at the southeastern tip of Tamil Nadu, it now lies in serene abandonment, surrendered to the elements since the devastating cyclone of 1964. The horizon is etched with the majestic dance of clouds billowing above the tranquil sea, a dramatic overture to the serenity that pervades this ghost town.

Here, the footprints on the sand are fleeting, washed away by the tides, much like the memories of the old town’s former days. Yet, Dhanushkodi endures, cradling the tales of its erstwhile residents in the hush of the sea breeze and the rhythm of the waves. It’s a place where solitude and history converge, offering a hauntingly beautiful tableau to those who wander amidst its quietude, seeking stories etched in time and nature.
