O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Jez se razteza 1.700 metrov čez reko Vaigai in oskrbuje s pitno vodo več kot 1,5 milijona ljudi v regiji Madurai. Njegov rezervoar, ki pokriva približno 10 kvadratnih kilometrov, se spremeni v priljubljeno izletniško mesto za vikende, kjer se lokalne družine zbirajo v senci tamarindovih dreves.
Poudarki: Le malo obiskovalcev ve, da so prelivi jezu oblikovani po znamenitem jezu Mullai Periyar, zgrajenem po enakem gravitacijskem načelu, ki se za zadrževanje vode zanaša izključno na lastno ogromno težo. Ob mraku se celoten jez osvetli s toplimi zlatimi žarnicami, po njegovem vrhu pa se lahko sprehodite, medtem ko družine v sosednjem parku spuščajo zmaje.
Notranji nasveti
- Walk all the way to the far end of the dam crest for a panoramic view of the reservoir with fewer crowds.
- Visit on a weekday if you want quiet photos, weekends get packed with local families by late afternoon.
- The small garden near the entrance has a children's play area and shaded benches perfect for a short rest.
- Bring binoculars in winter months to spot migratory birds like pintails and cormorants near the water's edge.
