History Of KRS Backwaters

Srirangapatna, Karnataka, India
The KRS Backwaters refer to the massive reservoir area formed behind the Krishna Raja Sagara Dam on the Kaveri River. Unlike the main dam and Brindavan Gardens, which are often crowded, the backwaters offer a secluded and vast expanse of water that looks like a calm sea. This area is particularly f amous for its breathtaking sunsets and the sight of the submerged Venugopala Swamy Temple, which was relocated to higher ground block-by-block. The backwaters serve as a vital irrigation source for the Mandya and Mysore districts. The landscape is characterized by vast stretches of blue water, distant hills, and local fishermen in their small boats. It is a favored spot for filmmakers and photographers due to the "infinity" view of the water. During the summer months when the water level recedes, parts of the old submerged structures and vast sandy patches become visible, creating a different but equally haunting beauty. The area is relatively undeveloped, providing a raw and natural experience. It is a place where one can truly listen to the sound of ripples and wind, making it the ultimate destination for those seeking solitude and a deep connection with nature near the historical town of Srirangapatna.:
