    The architecture of Lotwa Dam is a simple yet effective earthen dam with a concrete spillway. Its design is purely functional, built to hold back water for local use. The dam is approximately 500 meters long and stands at an average height of 10 meters. The spillway is the key architectural feature, designed to release excess water during the monsoon season. The waterfall itself is a natural cascade formed by the overflowing water from the dam. The surrounding area is largely untouched, with a few small shelters and seating areas for visitors. The structures are built with local materials, and their design is minimalistic, intended to not detract from the natural beauty of the place. The total area of the dam and its surrounding reservoir is approximately 100 acres. The landscape is a testament to the harmony between man-made and natural structures, and it is a great place to appreciate the beauty of both.
