Satpula Bridge

Image
Satpula literally means 'seven bridges' and is rightly named as it is built upon seven arches built by Muhammad Bin Tughlaq to tap the local stream feeding on river Yamuna, the stone masonry is distinct and the structure, well planned. Below the arches are the water tunnels which have been damaged. There is no way to go down to them unless you approach them from the grazing ground. On each end of the tunnels is a subsidiary opening. Two octagonal bastions stand at the ends of this two-storey high structure. #SatpulaBridge
