Willingdon Dam is situated to the east of the town of Junagadh, near the foot of Datar hills, in Gujarat State, and built on the Kalwa River in India.[1] The dam was named after Marquess Willingdon, the Governor of India at that time.[2] On the top of adjoining Datar hills is a shrine of Saint Jamiyal Shah Datar, which is a popular place of worship for both Hindus and Muslims. The climb to the Datar hills is about 2500 steps or 847 metres (2,779 ft).[3][1]
