Mysore/Mysuru: A museum of old crest gates conceptualised and designed by Sir M. Visvesvaraya will be an added attraction for tourists who visit the 90-year-old Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Dam as the Cauvery Neeravari Nigam Limited (CNNL) that manages the reservoir is making grand plans for the same.
These crest gates, numbering over 173, are made out of iron where molten iron was poured into moulds and then left to cool. The museum will come up within the KRS Dam premises and the legacy gates will be arranged in such a manner that visitors can see how exactly the Dam gates function during water release when the reservoir reaches its full capacity.
