dam, bridge
A dam across the Mahanadi (literal meaning is Great River) in Orissa. Please see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirakud_Dam for a good description. My ties to it go back to late 1940s and early 1950s. My father late V. Sanyasiah was one of the first few Assistant Engineers when the project was just beginning. That was the time when there was not even any housing. He certainly was very proud of it.
