At famous” Laxman Jhula” (Rishikesh) : Legends state that Laxmana crossed the river Ganga at this place using a jute rope bridge. The jute-rope bridge was replaced by iron-rope suspension bridge in 1889, and when it was washed away in the 1924 floods, it was replaced by the present stronger bridge. In recent visit to Rishikesh, we found it more crowded. Numbers of bicycles and Scooties are being used to cross the bridge. An earlier snap shot (of year 1998) can tell the difference very well.
