Gawai Barrage

Gawai Barrage is an irrigation barrage built across the Gawai River near Pindrajora village in Bokaro district, Jharkhand, about 15 km from Bokaro Steel City. Constructed for irrigation and water management, it has become a local picnic and sightseeing spot. The barrage offers views of the river, reservoir and surrounding rural landscape, attracting visitors for short outings, photography and seasonal gatherings, especially during winter months.

Visitors can expect a low-height barrage structure across the Gawai River with a small reservoir, earthen embankments and open rural surroundings. The site offers views of water, agricultural fields and distant low hills. There is an open area near the barrage used for picnics and photography. Facilities are minimal and the experience is that of a quiet, local day-out spot rather than a developed tourist complex.

Built as an irrigation barrage on the Gawai River to support agriculture and water regulation for villages in Bokaro district. It functions as part of local water management infrastructure for irrigation and storage.

Serves as a popular local recreation and picnic destination for residents of Bokaro Steel City and surrounding villages, particularly for winter picnics and casual family outings.
