Gayathri Reservoir, Karnataka, India

Known for its diverse landscapes, Karnataka is home to several vital water reservoirs that play an important role in sustaining agriculture, providing drinking water, and contributing to overall economic growth. Gayathri Reservoir, nestled in the Hiriyur taluk of Chitradurga, is among the smaller water reservoirs in the area, but the sight of its waters spilling over in times of abundance still draws crowds of spectators. The reservoir was constructed across the Suvarnamukhi River in 1963 and is surrounded by hills and greenery. The shimmering blue waters held within create a serene ambiance, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
