Photos Of Hidkal Dam
Belagavi, Karnataka, India
General Overview: Hidkal Dam, officially known as the Raja Lakhamagouda Dam, is a vital lifeline for the agricultural heartland of North Karnataka. Constructed across the Ghataprabha River, this massive reservoir is an engineering marvel that supports irrigation for thousands of hectares. The dam is situated in the Hukkeri taluk and provides a serene escape from the hustle of city life. The vast expanse of the backwaters resembles a quiet sea, reflecting the changing colors of the sky throughout the day. The dam was named after the philanthropist Raja Lakhamagouda Sardesai of Vantamuri, who contributed significantly to the region's development. It serves multiple purposes, including drinking water supply, irrigation, and power generation. The surrounding area is characterized by rolling hills and small patches of forest, making it a popular spot for weekend picnics. During the monsoon, the opening of the crest gates is a sight to behold, as massive volumes of water are released into the river bed below. The reservoir also attracts several species of migratory birds, making it a minor paradise for birdwatchers. The calm atmosphere and the cool breeze blowing off the water make it a favorite for families and couples alike. Unlike the more commercialized tourist spots, Hidkal Dam offers a more raw and tranquil experience. The road leading to the dam is lined with trees and provides a pleasant driving experience. The structure of the dam itself is an impressive example of modern masonry and gravity dam design. Visitors can walk along certain sections to appreciate the scale of the project. The water levels vary significantly between summer and winter, offering a different landscape in each season. It is a symbol of the region's progress and its reliance on the river's bounty. The sunset at the reservoir is particularly famous, with the sun dipping below the horizon and painting the water in shades of orange and gold. It is a must-visit for those who appreciate large-scale infrastructure and natural beauty.
