Mathur Aqueduct - Exploring Asia's Longest and Tallest Bridge | Best Tourist spot in Kanyakumari

Описание: The Mathur Aqueduct, also known as the Mathur Hanging Trough, is a remarkable architectural marvel located in Tamil Nadu, India. It is renowned for being the longest and tallest aqueduct bridge in Asia. The aqueduct serves as a vital part of the Tamil Nadu Irrigation System.

The Mathur Aqueduct stretches across the Pahrali River, connecting two hills and spanning a length of about 1,035 feet (315 meters). It stands at an impressive height of 115 feet (35 meters), making it an awe-inspiring sight for visitors.

Constructed in the early 19th century, the aqueduct was designed to transport water. Its construction involved the use of traditional engineering techniques, with the structure supported by 28 stone pillars.

One of the unique aspects of the Mathur Aqueduct is that it is a "hanging" aqueduct. The water flows through a masonry channel, supported by a series of stone arches and pillars, giving it the appearance of being suspended in mid-air. This architectural design allows for a steady flow of water despite the height difference between the two hills.

The Mathur Aqueduct attracts tourists and engineering enthusiasts from around the world who are fascinated by its impressive size, historical significance, and ingenious engineering techniques. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the engineers of the past and stands as an enduring symbol of India's rich architectural heritage.
