Tourist Attraction
Satpula
Satpula, meaning "Seven Bridges," is an ancient water harvesting dam and weir located in South Delhi, near Malviya Nagar. Built in 1343 AD during the reign of Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq, it was designed to provide irrigation and defense for the medieval city of Jahanpanah.
The structure consists of seven arched bridges, which helped regulate water flow from the Barapulla Nallah, ensuring a steady supply for agricultural purposes. The dam was constructed using stone masonry and features eleven water tunnels (sluices), each measuring 14.6 meters in length, 3.2 meters in height, and 2.2–2.9 meters in width.
The site also has octagonal bastions at both ends, which were used for weapon storage. Over time, rising temperatures and poor rainfall have rendered Satpula dry, but the surrounding area remains lush and green.
