Sothupparai Dam, Theni

ABOUT

Sothupparai dam is a tourist place in Theni district of the southern state of Tamil Nadu in India. The dam site is about 12 kms from Periyakulam, a modest town of some 40,000 odd population. In fact, Periyakulam can boast of five dams within radius of twenty kms. The vast expanse of water body at Sothupparai dam is a feast to the eyes of visitors. This dam is built across River Varaha or Varahaganathi. The dam is at the foot of Kodaikanal Hills, which are Western Ghats of Palani Range. The name Sothupparai is derived from the combination of two words from the local Tamil language. The meanings of these two words are food and rocks. Sothupparai dam length is medium. It is not a gigantic structure. However, the storage of water ensures continuous supply of water to the nearby town, Periyakulam. The whole region around this dam is characterized by hills. The thick vegetation in surrounding areas adds to the visual beauty of the dam. Perennial streams from the adjoining hills pour into the water catchment area of the dam
