In Indian usage, a jhula is a swing or a suspension bridge — the connecting thread between the two meanings is the sense of hanging, swaying, being suspended in the air. A jhula in a garden is where children play; a jhula over a mountain river is how entire communities cross to the other side. The word carries both the joy of a swing and the engineering drama of a rope bridge.
