The memorial of Ram Tirtha in Tehri will also disappear if the Dam is built. This sage brought honour to India by spreading Vedantic philosophy during our dark colonial period of slavery. A great Vedantic saint, Swami Ram Tirtha took �sanyas� near Tehri and took �samadhu� at Shimlasu. All these places dedicated to the great saint will be submerged, and a great spiritual heritage will be lost forever.

NDJ Photograph No. 27
V. Audio Visual, 1978-1993
A. Photographs: Bhagirathi river valley & Tehri Dam site, 1978-1986
Undated
An all-around panorama of pictures taken from the well-wooded and ancient capital town of Tehri, surrounded by bare-hill slopes. The town and its greenery will be submerged and destroyed - the unstable hill slopes will remain only to destabilise the man-made reservoir and threaten downstream inhabitants without warning with catastrophic floods.
