Gopi Lake
Gopi Lake, also known as Gopi Talav, is a historic artificial lake located in the Gopipura locality of Surat, Gujarat. It was built around 1510 CE by Malik Gopi, an affluent merchant and governor of Surat during the Gujarat Sultanate.
The lake played a significant role in the city's development and was once a vital water source. Over the centuries, it gained mentions in various travelogues by European visitors, including British, Dutch, and Portuguese explorers, who admired its craftsmanship and vastness.
In 2012, the Surat Municipal Corporation undertook a major renovation project to restore the lake and redevelop the surrounding area into a recreational facility. Today, Gopi Talav serves as a popular tourist attraction, offering a peaceful environment for visitors.
The lake is surrounded by well-maintained gardens, seating areas, and pathways, making it an ideal spot for relaxation and leisure activities.
