Satpula Bridge Where | Satpula Bridge - Khidki Village, Malviya Nagar Timings | 9 AM - 5 PM Satpula literally translates to seven bridges, which fits since this forgotten massive structure is built on 7 arches.

Making everything from exquisite earthenware & pots to finely crafted diyas & idols, They’ll also impart their knowledge to YOU if you so wish to learn, without any inhibitions. So, drop by if you want to learn the art or just witness the tiring but rewarding process! 3. The Museo Camera Where | The Museo Camera - DLF Phase IV, Sector 28, Gurugram TImings | 11 AM - 7 PM
