Gobind Sagar
Gobind Sagar is a large reservoir formed by the construction of the Bhakra Dam on the Sutlej River, located in the Bilaspur and Una districts of Himachal Pradesh. Named in honor of Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, the reservoir is one of the world’s highest gravity dams, standing about 225.5 meters tall. It was completed in 1962 and is vital for irrigation, power generation, and water supply in the region.
The creation of Gobind Sagar submerged the old city of Bilaspur, including its historic palaces, temples, and cultural heritage sites, leading to a significant loss for the local community. Today, the lake is a popular tourist destination known for its scenic beauty, water sports, and fishing, hosting a variety of fish species like Catla, Mahseer, and Rohu.
It also supports local biodiversity and provides recreational opportunities while serving as a symbol of India’s development and engineering prowess.
