Onagam (Kashmiri: ونہ گام,Urdu: اونہ گام) The name has been derived from the word(VUN), it means Jungle & Gam, a village. In short, sometime back, this village was covered trees, and people those days named it as onagam(The Jungle Village). Onagam is one of the biggest villages in newly formed district Bandipora(newly formed district - 2009), earlier it was part of Baramulla district.

Onagam is located in center of Bandipora district, 2 kilometers away from the district head quarters. Surrounded by Panjigam from East, Putushai from west, Duban from North Qazipora from South, Turqpora from North West, and Kalusa from South East.

A beautiful canal(nehr Zainagir) passes through the village and divides it into two halves- longitudinally, this canal was built by Badshah, an irrigation canal to irrigate Zainagir(a remote village in sopore- Apple Town) thus the name Nehr Zainagir(The Zainagir Canal). It is 47 Kms long, takes its water from the river Madhumati. It flows through Bandipore on the bank of the Wullar Lake at Sonawari. It moves in loops till it enters Sopore irrigating about 13300 acres of land. This canal adds its beauty to this village.

WaterFalls & Zainager Canal:

ZAINAGER: name of a pgn. between the Wular lake and the Pohru river developed by Zain-ul-Abdin (1420-1470 A.D.) by raising a dam of boulders across the Pohru to provide water for irrigation in the tract. Zain-ul-Abdin constructed the Zainager Canal and started building places, the chaks, who appear to have remained untamed so far. The purpose of constructing Nehr-e-Zainager (Zainager Canal) was to irrigate Zainager, it originates from Sonarwani, and flows through Watrina, Panjigam, Onagam, Potushai... and so on... and finally reaches to Zainager(village). It moves in loops till it enters Sopore irrigating about 13300 acres of land. It is 47 Kms long, takes its water from the river Madhumati.

Panchakki,(Grutt- Kashmiri) also known as the water mill, is used to grind grain. The water-mill is kept fed with sufficient water, the arrangement is such that the water is made to fall into the Chakki's cistern from quite a height in order to generate the necessary power to drive the mill. Onagam(My Village) is blessed with a Panchakki located near to twin water falls. The main water resource to this chakki is Nehr Zainagair( Badshal Canal). A few gallons of water is allowed to flow through a small stream towards the panchakki, and once the purpose of running the grinder is served, water is allowed to flow back into Badshah Canal.Onagam's Grutt keeps serving people from distant areas almost throughout the year... Except for Nov, Dec, and Jan.. it keeps running thoughout the year.
