023: Rama Sethu built to Lanka

After Vibheeshana’s Pattabhisheka, they decide that the best route to reach Lanka along with the huge army is to build a bridge across. Vibheeshana suggests its Rama’s turn to do Sharanagati to the sea God. Despite waiting for 3 days, nothing happens. Rama gets angry on Samudra, the God of sea and gets ready to leave an arrow to dry up the entire sea. Samudra appears immediately and asks sorry as he was too scared to come out.

Samudra suggests Rama and his army could bring in stones for the bridge. He would make sure they’d never sink. He also advises that Nala, the son of Vishwakarma has mastery in building bridges and so he take the lead in planning and building it.

The bridge gets build in 5 days. The entire Army now reaches the shores of Lanka at astonishing speed.

Ravana and Indrajeet are beyond surprised at the feat Rama and his army achieved. But still in denial mode.

Angada is sent as one last messenger to check if Ravana was to change his mind. But that never happened. Angada returns back. War is now unavoidable.
