Geography & terrain

Sardar Sarovar Dam lies in the Narmada district of Gujarat, 100 km from Vadodara and 250 km from Ahmedabad — the river dam of the region, its 1,210-m wall, the view gallery and the Statue of Unity set on the Narmada's gorge.

History & culture

The dam's story runs with the 1961 project era — the river dam of the 1961 founding and the 1,210-m wall of the 2017 completion, with the dam's modern role as the engineering stop of the Gujarat circuit and the home of the 2017-era dam and the 2018 Statue of Unity and the valley views; the dam's history of the 2006 Narmada debates and the 2017 opening and the reservoir life, gives Sardar Sarovar its dam character.
