Dowleswaram Barrage

Dowleswaram Barrage, just south of Rajahmundry, is Sir Arthur Cotton's famous Godavari anicut remodelled into a modern barrage that still defines the region's irrigation story. Visitors come for the broad river views, canal offtakes, and a sense of how the delta was engineered. It is an easy road stop from the city and works well with a Godavari bridge photo circuit. Parking and walkways are near the barrage approach; avoid restricted operational zones.
