Ananathpura Lake Temple, Kerala: The Ananathpura Lake Temple is built in the middle of a lake in the little village of Ananthapura in the district Kasaragod of Kerala. The temple reportedly has a vegetarian crocodile called Babiya who is believed to consume only the prasad of the temple which is a mixture of rice and jaggery. Babiya lives in the pond surrounding the temple and is said to be harmless. It is also said that fishes are safe in the pond as Babiya doesn't eat them

Adam's Bridge, Tamil Nadu: Adam's Bridge, also called Lord Rama's bridge is a chain of shoals between the islands of Mannar, near northwestern Sri Lanka, and Rameshwaram off the southeastern coast of India. The legend goes that Ramayana Ravana, the King of Lanka abducted Sita, the wife of Lord Rama. Lord Rama then assembled an army who helped him build a bridge between the southern-most tip of India and Sri Lanka. This bridge was eponymously named Ram Setu.
