View from our room - ashrams and jungle beyond. We had to mostly keep our windows closed as the local monkeys are skilled in grabbing food and other items but are generally tolerated in this pilgrimage town.
Lakshman Jhula, is a famous hanging iron bridge across Ganga, and is about 3 km from the main township of Rishikesh. As per mythological tales, once Lakshman, the younger brother of Lord Ram, crossed river Ganga at the same site where the bridge now stands. That bridge was made up of jute, though. Since then the bridge has been named as the Lakshman Jhula and is one of the most visited bridges by the tourists.
It offers some breathtaking views of the Ganges and more so on a clear day. I was not disappointed when I reached here. Mesmerizing sunset and the calmness of the river portray the serenity of Rishikesh.
And suddenly the honking of vehicles remind me that I am back in Bangalore!!
Visitors on the Swarg Ashram side of the Ganges - a crop of the previous shot in my photostream. Haridwar and Rishikesh, both towns on the Ganges, are places of pilgrimage for Hindus

Rishikesh!
For me, that is a name that conjures up the sound of sitars, images of pastel-coloured Hindu Gods, and memories of songs from the Beatles’ post-hallucinogenic phase.
The streets are full of life.
