This attraction in Delhi is pretty much overlooked and is often passed by people without being noticing. Satpula Bridge is located in the posh locale of Saket is a medieval structure. It is an ancient water harvesting weir. It served to provide water for irrigation and also as a restraint against enemy forces. You will find peace here, away from the South Delhi scenes. Satpula or seven bridges was erected in 1343 AD by Sultan Muhammad Bin Tughlaq of Tughlaq Dynasty over a Yamuna River fed stream. You can see the seven arches aligned with water tunnels placed below although they have been long damaged.
