Nagarjuna Sagar Dam
~150 km away

Nagarjuna Sagar Dam

One of the world's largest masonry dams, built across the Krishna River between 1955 and 1967. Named after the ancient Buddhist scholar Nagarjuna, the dam and its reservoir created the world's largest man-made lake at the time of construction, submerging the ancient city of Nagarjunakonda.

The dam powers two major canals — the Right Canal and the Left Canal — that irrigate millions of acres across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The Nagarjuna Sagar Left Canal is the agricultural lifeline that made Miryalaguda a rice cultivation hub.

Agricultural Heritage

Nagarjuna Sagar Left Canal

The Nagarjuna Sagar Left Canal is not just an irrigation channel — it is the reason Miryalaguda became the Rice Bowl of Telangana. Stretching hundreds of kilometres, it delivers water from the Krishna River to paddy fields across Nalgonda and Khammam districts.

The canal embankments offer peaceful walks through green paddy landscapes, especially during the sowing and harvest seasons. A living testament to modern India's ambitions in water management.

Perched atop a rocky hill in Nalgonda district, Devarakonda Fort was the capital of the Recherla Velama chiefs during the 14th–15th centuries. The fort's strategic location offers commanding views of the surrounding Deccan landscape.

Inside the fort complex, visitors can find the Ramalingeswara and Narasimha temples, ancient granaries, and cannons that tell stories of battles long past. The hill trek to the fort is an experience in itself.
