Atharanala, Heritage stone bridge in Puri, India
The Atharanala Bridge spans 85 meters across the Musa River with 18 passages constructed from laterite stone and lime mortar materials.
The initial construction began in the 13th century under King Bhanu Deva I, with subsequent modifications during the Maratha rule in the 18th century.
The bridge features decorative stone reliefs depicting Hindu deities including Brusaarudha Siva and Durga Mahisasuramardini along its facade and passages.
The Archaeological Survey of India restricts heavy vehicle traffic on the bridge to maintain its structural integrity for future generations.
The bridge structure provides visitors with an extended view of the Neelachakra atop the Jagannath Temple, making it a significant entry point.
