Amira Kadal, Historical bridge in Srinagar, India

The wooden bridge stretches 80 meters across the Jhelum River, incorporating sturdy cedar wood and rock foundations for enhanced stability.

Built between 1774 and 1777 under Afghan Governor Amir Khan Sher Jawan, this structure represents the first of seven original bridges in Srinagar.

The bridge maintains its traditional Kashmiri architectural elements, reflecting the engineering methods of local craftsmen who constructed it without external assistance.

The seven-meter-wide structure accommodates both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, connecting different sections of Srinagar's old city center.

The bridge survived multiple floods throughout its history, including severe damage in 1893, leading to reconstructions that preserved its original design elements.
