Satpula--The Bridge of Seven Openings

It was built by a later Tughlaq Muhammad Shah Tughlaq in 1380 to keep the city in water, a precious commodity back then in the medieval ages. It used to be a part of the massive ramparts of Jahanpanah and must have been no less impressive itself. The dam is has seven arches and involved a mechanism for sliding shutters that regulated the level of water. At each end of the dam are octagonal chambers which were once used as madrasas. Today Satpula is situated about half a kilometer from Khirkee village and is vast vanishing.
