The Ganga is still a few kms away at this point from its merger with Yamuna, so less water at this point. Still not large volume of water till Chapra, where Ghaghra merges into it and Ganga becomes like an ocean onwards with two other big tributaries joining later, i.e., Gandak and Kosi.

Doesn't seem to be a very big bridge for the stature of river Ganga

Excellent shot. It is worth taking some shots in good moonsoon also as Ganga will be full of water.

I thought that the Ganga at Allahabad would have more water at this time of year.

Rahul, from the geography of Shindawane Ghat that I remember, I believe this is going towards Pune which means it is indeed going "downhill".

Do you mean down direction (to Miraj) or down the gradient (to Pune)

Great pic. Were you on the tunnel top.
