Lakshman
Jhula is an iron suspension bridge situated in Rishikesh. It was erected over
the Ganges River and is a landmark of Rishikesh.
Lakshman Jhula is originally a jute rope
bridge. According to legend, Lord Rama's younger brother, Laxmana crossed the
river Ganges at this point using Jute Rope Bridge. The bridge was washed away
in the 1924 floods and it was replaced by the present iron bridge in 1939. It
is 450 feet long and is situated at a height of 70 feet from the river. The
bridge connects Pauri district with Tehri district. Another similar suspension
bridge Ram Jhula was built in 1986 at nearby Sivananda Nagar.
