Radhanagari Dam, Gravity dam in Maharashtra, India

The Radhanagari Dam spans 1,143 meters across the Bhogawati River, reaching a height of 38.41 meters and storing 236 million cubic meters of water.

Construction of the dam started on February 18, 1907, under Rajarshi Shahu's direction to address irrigation needs and municipal water requirements in Kolhapur.

The dam transformed agricultural practices in Kolhapur District, enabling the development of local farming communities and supporting the jaggery production industry.

The facility serves multiple purposes including irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, and water supply to surrounding municipalities through automatically operated gates.

Dense forests surrounding the dam create a protected environment for various bird species and wildlife, including the neighboring Dajipur Bison Sanctuary.
