It looks like a treasure trove of bountiful natural beauty over there with a river flowing and brimming with lush green on both sides. The three gentlemen were standing on the anicut, which had been built during the British era. Might be reminding somewhere backwaters in some other state? No, it's around Dummugudem, the place that encompasses a lot of history with the reminiscences of the colonial period. The old buildings in the village keep giving in, and they remain as a dilapidated lot for passersby.
An anicut (usually said as headlocks) constructed with sturdy iron material along with logs in doors. Water management and navigation were in their view when it was made. Most of the construction is intact, and a new irrigation project is underway nearby. With the onslaught of rough weather and time constraints, the historical construction is losing its sheen. A small island is there amidst the Godavari with scenic grandeur. Floods shattered twice heavily, and with the reason, many families shifted from here to a nearby place, Lakshmi nagaram.
