Get to know this place
Manjalar Dam lies in Periyakulam taluk, approximately 6 km from Devadanapatti. The dam road from the town leads towards the reservoir.
Completed in 1967, the dam stores water from the Manjalar River for irrigation in Theni and Dindigul districts.
The Central Water Commission’s storage inventory lists a gross capacity of 13.48 million cubic metres. This is reservoir capacity, rather than a reading of the water stored today.
The reservoir landscape has the Palani Hills as its backdrop. Confirm local access and use only permitted viewing areas.
