A beautiful evening at

The Krishna Raja Sagara Dam, popularly known as KRS Dam, is built on the river Kaveri and its tributaries, Hemavathi and Lakshmana Theertha. The KRS Dam and the ornamental garden, Brindavan Gardens, attached to the dam are one of the most visited tourist spots in Mysore. The dam was planned and built over a hundred years ago with traditional materials and techniques. Maharaja Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV had the dam constructed to help the people of the kingdom during a severe drought. Planned by Sir M Visvesvaraya, the chief engineer of Mysore, KRS Dam was the first dam to install automated crest gates. The dam is still a major source of drinking water for people and provides irrigation in Mandya, Mysore, and Bangalore.
The beautifully landscaped Brindavan Gardens lies adjoining the KRS Dam in Mysore. The ornamental garden is spread across an area of 60 acres. The then Diwan of Mysore, Mirza Ismail had a penchant for gardens and founded it in 1927. The Brindavan Gardens are laid out on three terraces with manicured gardens. The terraces are dotted with water fountains, foliage, and flowering plants. The garden also has several ficus trees, topiaries, gazebos, and pergolas in each of the terraces.
The Krishna Raja Sagara Lake lies in the centre of the gardens, and visitors can go boating on the lake. The musical fountain is the main attraction of KRS Dam and Brindavan Gardens. The light beams and water in the fountain burst out synchronized to a soundtrack, and appear as if they’re dancing. The soft colourful lights and the dancing bursts of water in the late evening transform this place into a fairytale land.
