Bridges now span the river, which is dammed to the east to provide hydroelectric power. When this photograph was made, the river was an important site of trade and transportation, and the riverbank a major locale for commerce and commuting. The Omkareshwar shrine, located on an island in the sacred Narmada River, was accessible in the 1800s only by boat.
