Built across the Mahanadi River, it is the longest dam in
Chhattisgarh, whose beauty is built on seeing it. Due to its beauty, people
come from far and wide to visit here. This dam provides water for irrigation
throughout the year, due to which the yield of paddy in its surrounding areas
is in abundance and hence Chhattisgarh is called the rice bowl. The farmers of
the plains here can produce two to three crops per year. Approximately 57000
hectares of land are irrigated with the water of this dam about 1830 meters long
and 100 feet high.
This artificial beach has been prepared in a radius of about
1 kilometer which is part of the tribal tourism circuit. This dam's coast looks
like a beach and facilities of the same level have been developed here. Here

developed under Ethnic Tourist Destination Development. Parasailing, Plyboard,
Octane, Jarbin Ball, PwC Bike, Banana Ride, Hundred Seater Ship, Water Cycle,
