Siruvani Waterfalls[1] (and the dam named after it) is located 36 km (22 mi) west of Coimbatore in the Western Ghats in India. The reservoir at Siruvani was built by the Indian government for Tamil Nadu, and funded by the Tamil Nadu government, to meet the drinking water requirements of Coimbatore. The gateways on either side of the road across the dam showcase typical Kerala and Tamil architectural styles. Siruvani is also home to indigenous tribes like the Mudugar and Irulas.
