Lake Pichhola is located in the heart of the city of Rajasthan. This is the oldest and largest lake in Udaipur, built in 1362 by Pichhu Banjara. This was during the period of the Maharan Lakha rule. It was expanded in 1560. As of now, it has been Udaipur’s number one attraction. The Gangaur Festival was held in an old town near the site. And this festival is always animated with many fireworks and other light works. People from all over the world are always looking forward to this event.

Fateh Sagar Lake is another man-made lake found in Udaipur. This is the second artificial lake with three islands that adorn it. Nahru Park has been the largest among the islands that adorn the lake. As of now, this has been part of a public park. It has a water jet fountain that adds to its beauty.

In 1559, Maharana Udai Singh built the Udai Sagar Lake. It took six years for the artificial lake to be finished. It was completed in 1565. It was built primarily to ensure that the kingdom of Maharana Udai Singh had a sufficient supply of water at all times.

In 1573, there was a Maharana Pratap Singh who was invented on the banks of the river. This invention was once a big problem because many were against the conditions offered by the Mughal Emperor Akbar. It eventually led to a battle, a bloody way to settle the dispute.

People visiting Udai Sagar Lake today enjoy the serene effects and relaxing view of the water.

Lake Jaisamand belongs to the second largest artificial lake in all of Asia. It is also sometimes called Dhebar. This lake is very close to the natural habitat of the animals. Panthers, birds, deer, leopards, crocodiles and wild boars live there. This was once a hunting ground for the rulers back then.

Lake Badi was created to combat the effect of the famine, which was very devastating. This lake is adorned by three pavilions. It has a total area of ​​155 square kilometers.

Lake Rajsamand was built in 1660. The goal was to ease the impact of Maharana Raj Singh. This is to provide jobs for all the victims of drought and famine. This also provides irrigation in places of drought.
