🚧 Murguma Dam

The Murguma Dam is constructed on the Saharajhore River, a tributary of the Kangsabati River in West Bengal, India. The dam is constructed near Murguma, a village in the foothills of the Ajodhya Hills, Purulia District. The dam is situated at the north west end of Ajodhya Hills which is considered as an eastern extension of Chota Nagpur Plateau, resulting in the dam being surrounded by hills and forests. A number of other streams also flow into the dam directly from the Ajodhya Hills and the dam's lake contains a number of small islands.
