Ram Jhula in Rishikesh

Ram Jhula serves as a connection between the Shivanand Ashram and the Swargashram, and hence the name Shivanand Jhula. The Bridge is more elaborate than the Laxman Jhula, but lesser known. It is made of iron over River Ganga, and connects Rishikesh to the ashrams on the other side of the bridge. The bridge has markets on both the sides, offering variety of gems, stones, religious goods, clothes, bangles, attracting women and others alike.
