About

The Krishnaraja Sagar dam is, across the legendary Cauvery River is around 18km north-west of Mysore.  The Brindavan Gardens have located just a level below the dam. Often described as the best example of illuminated terrace gardens in the country, the idea was the brainchild of Sir M.Visveshwaraiah and Sir Mirza M Ismail, former Devans of Mysuru one of the principal dams in South India.  The location chosen for the construction of the dam was a small village called “Kannambadi”. The village subsequently submerged under the water after the dam was completed. Because of this fact, the locals also call the dam “Kannambadi Katte”. It is built close to the confluence of three rivers Cauvery, Hemavathi & Lakshmana Teertha. The length of the dam is 2,621 meters & height 39 meters. The reservoir itself is spread over an area of 130 Sq. Kms. the overall design here displays an orientation of Mughal patterns-with garden paths and a shimmering necklace of fountains. On the South bank, there is a pavilion, where visitors can get a breathtaking view of the gardens.  Other highlights at the gardens include a children’s park, a fisheries station, and a hydraulic research station.  Adding a touch of sanctity to the place is a beautiful sculpture of Goddess Cauvery at the foot of the dam.
