FAQs On Badi Lake

Udaipur, Rajasthan, India
Badi Lake, officially known as Jiyan Sagar, is a serene and relatively less commercialized artificial freshwater lake situated in the quiet Badi village outside the main city of Udaipur. The lake was constructed by Maharana Raj Singh I (1652-1680) and was named Jiyan Sagar in honor of his mother, Ja na Devi. The primary purpose of its construction was to serve as a countermeasure against the devastating effects of frequent famines and droughts in the region, ensuring a reliable water supply for the populace. The lake spans a significant area and is characterized by a long embankment, which is approximately 180 meters long and 18 meters wide. Adorning the embankment are three beautifully crafted chhatris (kiosks or pavilions), reflecting the traditional Mewar architectural style. What has made Badi Lake increasingly popular is its stunning, untouched scenic beauty and the famous Bahubali Hill viewpoint. This small, easily trekked hill, which locals say resembles a crocodile, offers a spectacular panoramic vista of the vast lake and the surrounding Aravalli Hills, especially breathtaking during sunrise and sunset. Unlike the city lakes, commercial activity here is minimal, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking peace, quiet, and a connection with nature away from the city's hustle and bustle. The lake remains a vital source of water and a beloved picnic and swimming spot for locals.
