Gobind Sagar, Hydroelectric reservoir in Bilaspur, India

The Gobind Sagar reservoir extends over 90 kilometers through the Himalayan mountains, reaching depths of 100 meters across its 170 square kilometer surface.

The construction of Bhakra Dam began in 1955 under American engineer Harvey Slocum, leading to the formation of Gobind Sagar reservoir, completed in 1962.

The reservoir bears the name of Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh guru, reflecting the spiritual connection of the region to Sikhism.

The Himachal Pradesh Tourism Department maintains a Water Sports Complex in Luhnu Ground, offering equipment and accommodations for visitors year-round.

The reservoir houses fifty-one fish species, including Mahasheer and mirror carp, while supporting various water activities from August through January.
