context_page_description: The Jamaraat Bridge is a pedestrian bridge in Mina, Saudi Arabia, near Makkah used by Muslims during the Hajj ritual Stoning of the Devil. The purpose of the bridge is to enable pilgrims to throw stones at the three jamrah pillars either from the ground level or from the bridge. Jamaraat is the plural of jamraah, the Arabic term for each of the pillars involved in the stoning ritual. It literally means a small piece of stone or a pebble.
  The bridge was built in the early 2000 and has been expanded several times since then. The pillars extend up through three openings in the bridge. Until 2006, the bridge had a single tier. At certain times, more than a million people may gather in the area of the bridge, which has sometimes led to fatal accidents.
