Varahi dam is constructed across Varahi river at Agumbe, Shimoga District, Karnataka.This is a hydroelectric project.
The river Varahi takes its birth at a height of 730 m in the Western Ghats at Hebbagilu, near Agumbe in Shimoga District. It joins the Arabian Sea near Kundapur. After a 25 Km initial run, this swift and powerful river falls 455 m in cascades to form the bellowing Kunchikal falls.

Varahi is Karnataka’s first underground powerhouse – a key milestone in the corporate history of KPCL.
