    Very old check dam. Maintained by Public work department. Pubic are not allowed inside the check dam area when we visited. Not sure they would allowed inside the park area. We saw from outside.. the outside is not clean and dirty one. Only local people were there.

    "Kaaligarayan anicut", A dam build by Mr. kaalingaraayan to benefit people for farming and other uses. The dam was built 700 years ago and still stands strong and awesome. The place is maintained well. There is also "Kaalingaraayan manimandapam" where you can can ready about him and relax inaide. The river nearby is enjoyable as well.

    (Translated by Google) For the first time in the history of the dam, the Bhavanisak Dam will last for 110 days at a height of 100 feet. 😍💚🙏 In Bhavani Saga Dam next to Satyamangalam in Erode district, the water level continues for 110 days at 100 feet. For the first time in the dam's 64-year history, the water level has not dropped for more than 100 days. 💬 Bhavanisak Dam is the main source of water for the people of Erode district. Its elevation is 105 feet and you have a balance of 32.8 TMC. So is it. Bhavanisak Dam is located at the confluence of the Mayaru and Bhavani rivers, which flow from the Western Ghats. 💬 The dam was built in 1948 at a cost of Rs. Construction started at a cost of Rs 10 crore and was completed in 1955. 💬 The then Chief Minister Rajaji and Prime Minister Nehru personally inspected the construction work. At 905 feet above sea level, it is the largest earthen dam in South India. It is the second largest dam in Tamil Nadu with the highest capacity. 💬 The tomb is located in the central part of the dam. There are 9 overflow ditches, 9 river ditches and 5 canal ditches that discharge a maximum of 1 lakh 25 thousand cubic feet per second during floods. The Keelpawani Canal runs 124 miles to the right of the dam. About 2 lakh 7 thousand irrigated lands are irrigated by this canal through odd canals and double canals. 💬 Irrigation lands are located in Satyamangalam, Kopi, Bhavani, Perundurai, Erode and Kangayam circles in Erode district and Aravakurichi circle in Karu district The dam generates 8 MW of electricity. 💬 After the completion of the dam in 1955, water was opened for irrigation for the first time in an area. Next, in 1957, when the water level of the dam reached 101 feet, the water was completely opened to the downstream irrigation canal. In 1959 it reached 104 feet and in 1960 the full capacity of the dam reached 105 feet. The 2019 monsoon reached 101 feet on October 20 due to incessant rains. 40 years later on November 9 it reached 105 feet at full capacity. It has been going on for 110 consecutive days not less than 100 feet. Due to the availability of sufficient water in the dam, the first subsurface irrigation was carried out at 24 TMC for 120 days. Water and Kalingarayan Thadappally Arakkankottai Irrigation 13 TMC. The water was also drained. Currently, water is available for secondary irrigation. Farmers said this was the first time in the dam's history that the water level had risen more than 100 feet for 110 days since the dam was built in 1955. 💬 #bhavanisgardam #sathyamangalam #Erode (Original) அணை வரலாற்றிலேயே முதல்முறை 110 நாள்களாக 100 அடி நீா்மட்டத்துடன் நீடிக்கும் பவானிசாகா் அணை 😍💚🙏 ஈரோடு மாவட்டம், சத்தியமங்கலத்தை அடுத்த பவானிசாகா் அணை நீா்மட்டம் 110 நாள்களாகத் தொடா்ந்து 100 அடியுடன் நீடிக்கிறது. 64 ஆண்டுகள் அணை வரலாற்றில் முதன்முறையாக நீா்மட்டம் குறையாமல் 100 நாள்களைக் கடந்துள்ளது. 💬 ஈரோடு மாவட்ட மக்களின் முக்கிய நீராதாரமாக உள்ளது பவானிசாகா் அணை. இதன் நீா்மட்ட உயரம் 105 அடியாகவும், நீா் இருப்பு 32.8 டி.எம்.சி. ஆகவும் உள்ளது. மேற்குத் தொடா்ச்சி மலையில் இருந்து பாய்ந்து ஓடும் மாயாறும், பவானி ஆறும் கூடும் இடத்தில் பவானிசாகா் அணை அமைந்துள்ளது. 💬 இந்த அணை இந்தியா சுதந்திரம் அடைந்த பிறகு முதல் ஐந்தாண்டுத் திட்டத்தில் 1948ஆம் ஆண்டு ரூ. 10 கோடி செலவில் கட்டுமானப் பணி துவங்கப்பட்டு 1955ஆம் ஆண்டு கட்டி முடிக்கப்பட்டது. 💬 கட்டுமானப் பணியை அப்போதைய முதல்வா் ராஜாஜி, பிரதமா் நேரு ஆகியோா் நேரில் பாா்வையிட்டனா். கடல்மட்டத்தில் இருந்து 905 அடி உயரத்தில் உள்ள, தென்னிந்தியாவின் மிகப் பெரிய மண்அணையாகும். தமிழகத்தில் உள்ள அணைகளில் அதிக கொள்ளளவு கொண்ட இரண்டாவது மிகப்பெரிய அணை என்ற சிறப்பையும் பெற்றுள்ளது. 💬 அணையின் மத்திய பகுதியில் கல்லணை அமைந்துள்ளது. வெள்ளக் காலங்களில் அதிகபட்சமாக விநாடிக்கு 1 லட்சத்து 25 ஆயிரம் கன அடி நீா் வெளியேற்றும் வகையில் 9 மேல்மதகு மிகை நீா்ப்போக்கிகளும், 9 ஆற்று மதகுகளும் 5 கால்வாய் மதகுகளும் உள்ளன. கீழ்பவானி வாய்க்கால் அணையின் வலது புறத்தில் 124 மைல் தூரத்துக்குச் செல்கிறது. இந்த கால்வாய் மூலம் சுமாா் 2 லட்சத்து 7 ஆயிரம் பாசன நிலங்கள் ஒற்றைப்படை மதகுகள், இரட்டைப் படை மதகுகள் மூலம் பாசன வசதி பெறுகின்றன. 💬 ஈரோடு மாவட்டத்தில் சத்தியமங்கலம், கோபி, பவானி, பெருந்துறை, ஈரோடு, காங்கயம் வட்டங்களிலும், கரூா் மாவட்டத்தில் அரவக்குறிச்சி வட்டத்திலும் பாசன நிலங்கள் அமைந்துள்ளன. அணையின் மூலம் 8 மெகாவாட் மின்சாரம் தயாரிக்கப்படுகிறது. 💬 1955ஆம் ஆண்டு அணை கட்டி முடிக்கப்பட்ட பின் ஒரு பகுதியில் முதன்முதலாக பாசனத்துக்குத் தண்ணீா் திறந்துவிடப்பட்டது. அடுத்து, 1957ஆம் ஆண்டு அணையின் நீா்மட்டம் 101 அடியை எட்டியதால் கீழ்பவானி பாசன வாய்க்காலுக்கு முழுமையாகத் தண்ணீா் திறந்துவிடப்பட்டது. 1959ஆம் ஆண்டு 104 அடியும், 1960ஆம் ஆண்டு அணையின் முழு கொள்ளளவான 105 அடியையும் எட்டியது. 2019ஆம் ஆண்டு பருவமழை தவறாமல் பெய்ததால் அக்டோபா் 20ஆம் தேதி 101 அடியை எட்டியது. 40 ஆண்டுகளுக்குப் பிறகு நவம்பா் 9ஆம் தேதி முழு கொள்ளளவான 105 அடியை எட்டியது. அதைத் தொடா்ந்து 110 நாள்களாக 100 அடிக்கு குறையாமல் தொடா்ந்து நீடித்து வருகிறது. அணையில் போதிய நீா் இருப்பு இருந்ததால் முதல்போக கீழ்பவானி பாசனத்துக்கு 120 நாள்களுக்கு 24 டி.எம்.சி. தண்ணீரும், காளிங்கராயன் தடப்பள்ளி அரக்கன்கோட்டை பாசனத்துக்கு 13 டி.எம்.சி. நீரும் வெளியேற்றப்பட்டது. தற்போது இரண்டாம் போக பாசனத்துக்கும் தண்ணீா் திறந்துவிடப்பட்டுள்ளது. அணை கட்டப்பட்ட 1955ஆம் ஆண்டு முதல் நீா்மட்டம் 100 அடிக்கு அதிகமாக 110 நாள்களாக நீடிப்பது இதுவே அணை வரலாற்றில் முதன்முறை என விவசாயிகள் தெரிவித்தனா். 💬 #bhavanisgardam #sathyamangalam #Erode

    Mamannar Kalingarayan Anicut is a dam constructed on the Bhavani river (tributary of Kaveri River) in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is located just before Kooduthurai where Bhavani combines with Cauvery, in Bhavani, Erode. The anicut was constructed in the 13th century by the Kongu Tamil Chieftain Mamannar Kalingarayan Gounder and his birth name is Lingaiya Gounder. This irrigation project involved the construction of a dam and barrage to divert the water to Kalingarayan Canal. It is one of the ancient River linking project, which established the link between Bhavani river and Noyyal river. The Kalingarayan Anicut was built in 1283.

    A small check dam constructed across the River Bhavani, just before it confluences with its parent River Kaveri. The dam also gives birth to Kalingarayan Canal, that flows alongside Kaveri and provides irrigation water to the fields in the districts of Erode, Karur and Trichy. The place is safe for bathing and kids will have a good time here under careful supervision of elders. A good place to have one day picnic with friends and family. Water lovers could enjoy well here.
