Lakshman Jhula
New Bajrang Setu – Glass Bridge
The legendary Ganga crossing from the Ramayana
Mythology & history
Why it’s famous
Lakshman Jhula is linked with the belief that Lord Lakshman crossed the Ganga here using a jute rope — a story that comes from the Ramayana. The new Bajrang Setu keeps the legend alive, and it remains one of the most sacred crossings in Rishikesh.
