Tanpura Bridge

Pune has historically been a city of tradition, culture and heritage. It has also been a patron of the arts and has given the world legendary personalities in the fields of literature, films, music, dance, etc.

In recent times, in many cities across the world, a lot of monuments or buildings have been constructed which have reflected the core cultural values of the places. These creations have been in the form of public art installations or statues or graffiti or murals or other forms of art.

In Pune, a new pedestrian bridge has been constructed over the Mutha river. The bridge resembles the shape of a Tanpura. A Tanpura is a popular classical Indian string instrument which has been used in Indian music throughout the ages. The artistic, distinctive, and aesthetically pleasing shape of this cable-stayed bridge aims to highlight Pune’s cultural and musical heritage. The bridge blends the city’s culture with modern urban mobility.
