Nagarjuna Sagar Dam & Ethipothala Falls Nagarjuna Sagar, a massive irrigation project on the River Krishna, about 100 miles from Guntur City, has a rich and interesting past. It was a valley in the Nallamala range of the Eastern Ghats with civilizations dating back to thousands of years. Recorded history, however, assigns the first signs to the later Satavahanas and subsequently the Ikshvakus in the third century. The Sriparvata and Vijayapuri of yore were really temples where the famous savant and Philosopher Acharya Nagarjuna preached the message of the Buddha. The Ethipothala Falls located 7 miles from Nagarjunasagar, the water here is used for crocodile breeding.
