Kanva Reservoir, Ramanagara - History details

Created by a 1946 masonry dam across the Kanva River (with guidance from Sir M. Visvesvaraya), this 776‑hectare reservoir irrigates the semi‑arid Ramanagara plains. Encircled by low wooded hills, it’s known for birding, a fisheries training centre and access to the cave‑shrine of Purushottama Thirtha Gavi. Post‑monsoon brings fuller waters, cooler air and wide lakeside vistas.
