Kalisindh Dam
Jhalawar, Rajasthan, India
Kalisindh Dam is a massive concrete gravity dam built across the Kalisindh River. It is a modern addition to Jhalawar’s landscape but has quickly become a popular tourist spot due to its sheer scale and the beauty of its reservoir. Completed in 2014, the dam was primarily constructed to provide w ater for the Kalisindh Thermal Power Station and for irrigation purposes. It is famous for having 33 radial gates, which is the second-highest number of gates in any dam in Rajasthan. When all 33 gates are opened during the monsoon season, the sight of the gushing water is spectacular and attracts thousands of visitors. The dam has created a vast reservoir that has become a habitat for local and migratory birds, making it a spot for nature photography. The area surrounding the dam is being developed for tourism with parks and viewpoints. It offers a sense of vastness and power, contrasting with the ancient, delicate carvings found in the city’s temples. The road to the dam passes through rural Rajasthan, offering a glimpse of local farming life and mustard fields. It is a perfect spot for a half-day picnic, especially for those who want to see the modern side of Jhalawar’s infrastructure.
