The Dhasan River is a river in central India. A right bank tributary of the Betwa River. It flows in the Bundelkhand region of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.
Origin and length
[edit]Dhasan River originates in Begumganj tehsil (Raisen district, Madhya Pradesh).[1][2] And then flows in Sagar District .
The river forms the southeastern boundary of the Lalitpur District of Uttar Pradesh state.[3] Its total length is 365km, out of which 240km lies in Madhya Pradesh, 54km common boundary between Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, and 71km lies in Uttar Pradesh.

[edit]Kathan, Mangrar, Bachneri, Sukhanai, and Rohni are among its tributaries.[4]
Human activity
[edit]Two dams have been built on Dhasan: one at Pahari Ban Sujara Dam and one further down at Ghat Lahchura Dam. A three-branched irrigational canal was opened in 1910, diverting some of the river's flow and providing water for the Bundelkhand region.[5][6]
The river was known as the Dasharna in ancient times.[7][8] Residents of nearby villages regard this river as a holy river.[9]
