This aqueduct in Alwar , in the desert state of Rajasthan, was built about two hundred years ago. It transported water from a lake to the city of Alwar. Now with borewells dug everywhere with moders machines, this aqueduct stands lonely and deserted across the valley.Friday, January 21, 2011

Fantastic photo of the bridge and a sad story.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing
have a great week
It's some kind of a sad reality. But thinking that it helps a lot of people before modern times makes our heart felt at peace. Good thing is that it still standing and people could see how life in those days is hard. And that we who live in this generation has a lot of things to be thankful for. Happy weekend!
