This another wonderful works of Mysuru Maharaja's family to people of Karnataka.This dam is higher than KRS dam of Mysuru. ▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️ The dam was built by the Mysuru Maharajas pre-independence across the river Vedavathi. The dam is an exquisite piece of architecture, an engineering marvel for that time, and provides water to lots of surrounding cities, towns and villages. 🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸🔸 The dam was initiated by the regent queen who was a widow of Maharaja Chamaraaja Wodeyar. 🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 She is known for her social works which were exemplary. For the construction of this dam royals of Mysuru had to pledge royal jewellery due to shortage of money, that is why it was named as "Vani Vilasa Sagara". 🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺🔺 Vani Vilasa was the name of youngest daughter of the then Maharaja of Mysuru. #karnnatakaforest #karnatakatourisim #karnatakaphotographers #karnatakadams #damsofindia #krs #krsdam #mysuru #mysurumaharaja #chitradurga #nammachitradurga (at Vani Vilas Sagar Dam) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuA7PWwlv80/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3jn0t0cypesp
