The Iconic Ganga Footbridge Lakshman Jhula is an iron suspension footbridge across the Ganga river in Rishikesh, India, originally built in 1929 and named for the legend that Lakshman crossed the river here. At about 137 m long, it links Tapovan and Jonk and is flanked by riverside temples, ashrams, and the multi-storey Tera Manzil temple.
