On 11 April 1930, the Lakshman Jhula, a suspension bridge across the Ganges River near the town of Rishikesh in Uttarakhand, India, was opened to the public. The bridge spans the river and connects the two banks, providing a pedestrian crossing between the villages of Tapovan and Jonk. The Lakshman Jhula holds significant religious and cultural importance, as it is believed to be the location where Lord Rama's brother, Lakshmana, crossed the river using jute ropes (a jhula) at this spot. Today, the bridge is a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of spirituality in the region, attracting visitors from around the world.
