Krishnaraja Sagar reservoir, named after the Late.Sri.Krishnaraj Wodeyar in whose reign construction was undertaken, was formed by the construction of a dam across the Kaveri river, 9 miles on the upstream side of the historic town of Srirangapatna and 12 miles from Mysore City. People of Mandya fondly remember Nalvadi Krishnarajendra Wodeyar and Sir M. Vishweshwariah, the Engineer-Statesman who built the KRS reservoir, as the architects of Mandya district.
