Nehru Garden

Nehru Garden is a landscaped memorial garden located adjacent to the Koyna Dam in Koynanagar, Maharashtra. Built in memory of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, it features an audio-visual interpretation center showcasing the history and construction of the Koyna Hydroelectric Project. The garden offers panoramic views of the dam and Shivsagar Lake reservoir from a small hill within its premises. It serves as both a recreational space with children's play areas and an educational site highlighting India's hydroelectric infrastructure.

Visitors can explore a well-maintained landscape garden featuring medicinal and ayurvedic plants alongside leisurely walking pathways. A key highlight is the auditorium which screens a 30-minute documentary on the Koyna Dam's construction and displays historical photographs. The garden provides vantage points for viewing the Koyna Dam and Shivsagar Lake backwaters. Families will find a dedicated children's play area with swings and slides, while photography enthusiasts can capture scenic vistas of the surrounding hills and water body.

The garden was built in memory of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India. Its audio-visual center preserves and presents the engineering history of the Koyna Hydroelectric Project, including construction timelines and inauguration records.
