Zero Bridge

Zero Bridge, situated in Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, is a famous landmark that spans across the Jhelum River. The bridge, constructed during the British era, gets its name from the fact that it was originally intended to be built at an elevation where its shadow would align perfectly with the water's surface, creating the illusion of a "zero" shadow. However, due to engineering constraints, the bridge ended up being constructed at a higher elevation, and thus the name "Zero Bridge" stuck.

The bridge serves as an important transportation artery connecting different parts of the city, and it offers picturesque views of the surrounding landscape, including the river and the nearby hills. Zero Bridge has also become a popular spot for locals and tourists alike to stroll along and enjoy the serene ambiance, especially during the evenings when the bridge is illuminated with lights. Visitors can take leisurely walks across the bridge, soak in the views, and experience the vibrant atmosphere of Srinagar.
