History Of Akhuapada Anicut
Jajpur, Odisha, India
Sub Place Details: Akhuapada Anicut is a significant historical and engineering site located in the Jajpur district. Built during the British era in 1871, this barrage was designed to control the flow of the Baitarani River and provide irrigation to thousands of hectares of farmland in the region. T he anicut is an essential component of the local agricultural system, helping to manage both floodwaters during the monsoon and water scarcity during the summer months. Over the years, the site has evolved into a popular recreational spot for locals and tourists alike. The massive stone and concrete structure against the backdrop of the wide, flowing river creates a picturesque scene. It serves as a reminder of the colonial-era infrastructure that continues to serve the modern needs of the people. The area around the anicut is often used for family picnics and school excursions. Visitors can walk along the embankments to get a close-up view of the rushing water and the complex system of sluice gates. The site is particularly vibrant during the rainy season when the river is at its peak and the water thunders through the gates. It is a place where history, utility, and natural beauty converge, making it a must-visit spot for those interested in industrial heritage and scenic landscapes.
