CHICKEN LIVER KULAMBHU

Uchipuli or Uchippuli is a small village in the Mandapam block of Ramanathapuram District, Tamil Nadu, India. It is a major source of water supply for the Ramanathapuram town. It is a small beautiful village . This village is my inlaws birthplace . It is situated in the Gulf of Mannar at the very tip of the Indian peninsula. According to legends, this is the place from where Lord Rama, built a bridge Ram Setu(also known as Adam's Bridge) across the sea to Lanka to rescue his consort Sita, from her abductor, Ravana. This is also the place where Rama worshipped Shiva to be absolved of the sin of killing Ravana, hence the name of Shiva, which became the name of the town - Rameswara ("lord of Rama"). Both the Vaishnavites and Shaivites visit this pilgrimage centre which is known as the Varanasi of the south. The village is surrounded by paddy fields , coconut trees and sea is within 5 kms from it.(photo : hindu.com )
