The Upper Reservoir of the Purulia Pumped Storage Project, known as Upper Dam, is a rock-fill dam in Purulia. It functions as the upper reservoir for the 900-megawatt pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant located on the top of Ajodhya Hills, approximately 712 meters high. This is crucial for generating hydroelectric power and helping to manage peak electricity demand. The dam creates a large lake that attracts tourists and features a surrounding road popular for watching sunsets over the hills. Situated on the Bamni River, it serves as an upper reservoir for green energy while offering elevated views of the Ajodhya Pahar and surrounding landscapes. It serves as a significant water storage point in the relatively dry surrounding regions. The dam is developed with significant financial assistance from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The local villagers protest against the project, alleging a massive loss of vegetation and that hundreds lose their livelihoods. In the late afternoon just before dusk, people arrive at the Upper Dam by car and bicycle and visit various temporary shops on the dam in Bagmundi, Purulia, West Bengal, India, on January 12, 2026.
