Tungabhadra Dam, also known as Pampa Sagar, is a multipurpose dam across the Tungabhadra River near Hosapete in Vijayanagara district, Karnataka. Completed in 1953 as a joint project of the former Hyderabad and Madras states, it creates a large reservoir providing irrigation, flood control and hydroelectric power. Notable for its 2.4 km long composite structure, landscaped Japanese-style gardens and illuminated musical fountain, it is a major visitor attraction near Hampi.
