Pichola lake
Pichola Lake in Udaipur, Rajasthan, is a historic artificial freshwater lake created in 1362 by Pichhu Banjara during the reign of Maharana Lakha. The lake played a crucial role in the founding and growth of Udaipur, with Maharana Udai Singh expanding it by building a dam to meet the city's water needs.
It covers about 4 square kilometers and features four main islands—Jag Niwas, where the iconic Lake Palace is situated; Jag Mandir with its palace; Mohan Mandir, a place once used by the king to watch festivals; and Arsi Vilas, a small former ammunition depot now a bird sanctuary.
The lake is surrounded by grand palaces, temples, and old structures, creating a picturesque setting popular with tourists. Visitors often enjoy boat rides that offer stunning views of Udaipur's architecture and scenic lakeside environment. The lake faces challenges such as pollution and soil erosion but remains a vital cultural and natural landmark of the city.
