Gangrel Dam, also known as R.S. Sagar Dam, is a significant dam located on the Mahanadi River in the Dhamtari district of Chhattisgarh, India. Here's a brief overview of its history: 1. Construction: Gangrel Dam was constructed as a multipurpose project by the Government of Madhya Pradesh (before the formation of Chhattisgarh as a separate state) in the late 1980s. The dam's primary purposes were to provide irrigation, generate hydroelectric power, and regulate the flow of the Mahanadi River. 2. Inauguration: The dam was inaugurated in the year 1995 by the then-President of India, Shankar Dayal Sharma. 3. Key Features: Gangrel Dam is an earthen dam with a height of approximately 27 meters (88.6 feet) and a length of about 1,000 meters (3,281 feet). It has a storage capacity of around 15,560 hectares (38,400 acres) and can hold up to 462 million cubic meters (370,000 acre-feet) of water. The dam also features a spillway to release excess water during heavy rainfall. 4. Irrigation and Agriculture: One of the primary objectives of Gangrel Dam is to provide irrigation water to the surrounding agricultural lands. The water released from the dam helps in irrigating large areas of farmland, promoting agricultural activities and enhancing agricultural productivity in the region. 5. Hydroelectric Power Generation: Another important aspect of Gangrel Dam is its hydroelectric power generation capacity. It has a power station with an installed capacity of 10 megawatts, harnessing the flow of water from the dam to generate electricity. 6. Tourist Attraction: Over the years, Gangrel Dam has also gained popularity as a tourist attraction due to its scenic beauty and the panoramic view it offers. Visitors can enjoy boating, picnicking, and taking in the picturesque surroundings. Gangrel Dam has played a vital role in water management, irrigation, power generation, and tourism development in the region, contributing to the socio-economic growth of the area.

It's also called by a name of mini goa. It is very beautiful dam. And very clean aa compared to othee places of tourism in india.

Nice place for picnic. Need more development by government. Angarmoti temple is religious place besides the dam.

Great place to visit with family and friends. The water sport is pretty good. I wish the roads leading to the water sport from the entrance was a bit better, it was very difficult to take my grandmother there. So we had to leave her near the entrance. Atleast there should be a proper resting area apart from the resort where she could sit comfortably.

Beautiful place to enjoy the weekend. People come to see water in the dam. There is one temple also. If you will wander the place properly, you can find nice peaceful places near the lake.

Best view and ment for photography specially at the time of Summer 👍🏻

Water sports are the main attraction for the tourists here. Cruisers, motor bikes, boats are available. 100 people can board the cruiser at a time. Different types of boating can be done here from Rs 50 to Rs 4,000. This includes paddle boats for children, luxury boats and high speed boats for adults. Resorts are built on the other side of the dam, where living makes one feel like living on the beach of Goa. There is also a temple of Mother Angarmoti here.

So it's a place you would like to visit after the monsoon as the canal gets flowing. Don't consider going during the summers. The fish in the water bodies actually gave a fish spa✌. The rocks form a great background for photoshootA place far from the city, into the nature, with waterfall and a perfect picnic spot. This place has all what u look for during weekends.Nice place to visit and to be developed due to its mythological values.crowd management to be upgraded as well as reaching way alsoI went here for a day to visit the Siyadevi Temple and the nearby Siyadevi falls. This place is near Balod in Chhattisgarh. The place is remote but well connected by road at can be easily reached. The place has lot of scenic beauty with a temple and lovely falls. A lot of local crowd visit this place during festive season of Navratri etc. It's crowded on such special days otherwise there are not much people here. The Diyadevi temple is being built now and the complex also has kevat temple . The place doesn't have any facilities and one has to take everything like water , food etc. The Siyadevi falls is amazingly beautiful and a must visit place specially in rainy season. This place comes highly recommended for a picnic.

Now no one is permitted to go at main gate you will can see it from side. Boat are also very costly there you can't afford it if you have low budget prefer ona Kona rudra temple in replace of this.

On of the biggest dam of Chattisgarh. The place has plenty of water everywhere. It fills like mini ocean. Going on the dam is closed for public at the moment but you can see it from the side. Very good picnic place near dhamtari to spend quality time with friends and family.

Beautiful scenery and the gates were open when I went there boat rides are very expensive and not worth it at all if you want to go ride boat I will suggest the big boat it costs around 150 per person and its totally worth it

Situted in 11 km from dhamtari district headquarter ,chhattisgarh, india Most Larger dam of chhattisgarh Its most famous picnic spot, Water sport facility, horse riding , local foods, amusement park , maa angarmoti temple and rest house of tourism board

It's a great place to visit with friends as well as family. If you want to walk across the dam using the bridge, then you have to reach there early in the morning.  The best photography points are barrage and rudra temple.

Located in Dhamtari it is a nice place for picnic and water sports near Raipur.

It is the largest Dam of Chattisgarh, and one of the best tourist spot in Dhamtari. If you're visiting Dhamtari then you should also visit this Dam. Gangrel Dam have very much thing to offer you, and you should consider this place to visit.

Good for one time visit, not much crowded, Must do boating though its costly.
