Pashulok Barrage, Combined dam and bridge on Ganges River in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India.

The Pashulok Barrage spans 320 meters across the Ganges River, featuring a reservoir catchment area of 21,400 square kilometers at 330 meters elevation.

The construction of Pashulok Barrage led to the establishment of the Chilla Power Plant in 1980, introducing hydroelectric generation to the Dehradun district.

The barrage stands near sacred sites along the Ganges River, where Hindu devotees gather for religious ceremonies and traditional water rituals.

The structure maintains a spillway capacity of 13,200 cubic meters per second and directs water through four Kaplan turbines generating 144 megawatts of electricity.

Located 4 kilometers upstream from Haridwar, this run-of-the-river scheme creates a hydraulic head of 32.5 meters for downstream power generation.
