Explanation

The Bhakra Nangal Dam is recognized as one of the highest gravity dams in the world. As a straight gravity dam, its height and structural design make it an engineering landmark. Gravity dams rely on their massive weight to resist the horizontal force of water pressure, and Bhakra Nangal's exceptional height (226m) places it among the tallest such dams globally, though newer dams may have surpassed it in recent decades.
