          The water will be stored in feeder dams like Chakra/Savehaklu/Mani etc , which will in turn supply water to Linganamakki for power generation.

                  Very nice places and good photos too! Kavishaila looks beautiful and now I want to visit that place once. Looks like you guys had a tough but awesome time in the mud! Good to see the coimbatoreans stamping their '2 stroke' authority once again!

                            Thank you Shelton Kavishaila is best visited during monsoon. Yeah tough it definitely was, but more than that ,the fun. And regarding the two stroke patrons from Coimbatore. It always that these guy make sure that the machines are shining by their standards and onlybthen they themselves take bath Yeah it feels like going back to teenage and the learning stages. All those who started riding with 2 strokes will definitely have tears of joy when you smell the 2 strokes and ears humming with the sound of the same
