Pleased by Lord Rama, Lord Vishnu in the avatar of “Hrishikesh” appeared before him. It is where the town received its present name, “Rishikesh”. The place where the Lakshman Jhula is situated is the spot from where Lakshman, Lord Rama’s brother crossed the River Ganga with the help of a jute rope. This jute bridge was then replaced in 1889 by an iron bridge, which got destroyed by the floods of 1924. It was then replaced by a stronger bridge in 1927.
