Krishnaraja Sagara Dam
Krishnaraja Sagara Dam, commonly called KRS Dam, is a gravity dam across the Kaveri River at Krishnarajasagara in Mandya District, about 16 km from Mysore, Karnataka. Built between 1911 and 1932, it was conceived during the reign of Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV and engineered by Sir M. Visvesvaraya. The dam creates the Krishnaraja Sagara reservoir and is noted for its engineering, irrigation and hydroelectric importance and the adjoining Brindavan Gardens.
