About this Place
Nedungal Dam, located in the Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu, is a historic irrigation structure built during the British colonial era between 1887 and 1889. This dam spans the Thenpennai River and has been a vital water source for surrounding agricultural lands for over a century. Measuring 912 feet long and capable of holding 8.97 feet of water, it features an attractive black stone design with canals on both sides for irrigation.
The dam offers a tranquil spot surrounded by lush greenery, inviting visitors to relax by the water, enjoy picnics, and even bathe in the river. It's an ideal location for a peaceful day trip, providing scenic views and a refreshing atmosphere.
The area also hosts the ancient Sri Nedungal Perumal Temple, an over 1,200-year-old hilltop shrine dedicated to Lord Vishnu, adding a cultural and spiritual dimension to the visit.
