Originating from the Yamunotri Glacier on the south western slopes of Banderpooch peaks, in the Himalayas, it travels a total length of 1,376 kilometers before merging with the Ganges at Allahabad. Yamuna literally means 'twins' in Sanskrit, as it runs parallel to the Ganges.[/vc_project_detail][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_project_detail image="3814"]<strong>Mudra of Tatwa:</strong> Tranquility.The main pylon of the bridge refers to an ancient Mudra, a symbolic gesture corresponding to natural gestures, made with the hands, used in Hindu Poojas, Tantric worships, Yoga and also in Classical Indian dances. The Tattva mudra is the mudra of the Principle. It refers to the establishment of divinity within. Buddha gave it to his disciples for control of the mind, which is more required for such a column, as well as for people travelling over the bridge within hectic Delhi traffic.

Originating from the Yamunotri Glacier on the south western slopes of Banderpooch peaks, in the Himalayas, it travels a total length of 1,376 kilometers before merging with the Ganges at Allahabad.

Along the west and east bank of the river an extensive master plan is proposed to provide space for the public to connect with the water. The low lying east bank floods regularly, for which the design provides a required answer. Here are various levels of pedestrian paths, on grade, on walkways and on even higher located plazas situated along a crescent shaped spine.[/vc_project_detail][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_project_detail image="3812"]The public will therefore be able to use and reach the riverbanks even during monsoon time for leisure as well as ritual religious offering the river Yamuna.

The pedestrian pathways on the west back provide various levels of recreation for the public. The Signature Bridge across the river Yamuna is an eight lane bridge, four lanes each way, with a service lane in the centre. The pylon give support to a reverse cable stayed system on both sides with the stress balance required for supporting the deck.[/vc_project_detail][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_project_detail position="bottom" image="3811"]The plan also contains external bubble elevators and stairs for reaching the top of the pylon, where 3 visitor gallery decks and a restaurant are located for obtaining a full view of Delhi.
While driving over the bridge one can see the external bubble lift moving along the pylon towards the 3 visitor Galleries decks and the exclusive VIP restaurant on top.[/vc_project_detail][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text="Related Projects" font_container="tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23c02026" google_fonts="font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:500%20bold%20regular%3A500%3Anormal"][the_grid name="RP-yamuna river bridge"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
