About this Place
Kodiveri Dam is a picturesque masonry dam built across the Bhavani River in Tamil Nadu, renowned for its scenic surroundings and the cascading waters that form a gentle waterfall downstream, making it safe for bathing and swimming. The dam features a lively park at its base with recreational activities and amenities like children's play areas.
Visitors can enjoy coracle boat rides on the river, picnic in the landscaped gardens, and savor freshly caught and fried fish from local vendors. Beyond its role as a popular tourist spot, Kodiveri Dam continues to be a vital source of irrigation for thousands of acres of agricultural land in the Erode district.
Its historical significance, combined with its natural beauty and recreational offerings, makes it an attractive destination for a day trip or a family outing. The ancient construction details, including interlocked stones with iron bars and lead mortar, are often visible during the dry season.
