The Murguma Dam[1] is constructed on the Saharajhore River,[2] one of the tributary of Kangsabati River in West Bengal, India. The dam is constructed near Murguma[3] village in the foothill of Ajodhya Hills, Purulia District. It's under the jurisdiction of Kotshila Police Station. A number of other streams also flow into the dam directly from Ajodhya Hills. The dam is surrounded by hills, forests and a number of small islands[4] within it. The place is situated at the north west end of Ajodhya Hills which is considered as an eastern extension of Chota Nagpur Plateau.
