FAQs On Sur Sagar Lake
Vadodara (Baroda), Gujarat, India
Sur Sagar Lake, formerly known as Chandan Talao, is a beautiful and historic lake situated right in the bustling heart of Vadodara city. This artificial lake, spanning approximately 1057 feet in length and 665 feet in width with an average depth of 12 feet, has been an integral part of Vadodara's u rban landscape for centuries. Its current name, "Sur Sagar," is attributed to Sureshwar Desai, who undertook its repair and constructed clay ghats with dams in the 18th century. Later, Malharrao Gaekwad further enhanced it with sturdy 'pucca' (concrete) embankments. The lake is perpetually filled with water, thanks to an intricate system of underground gates that help regulate its level and drain excess water into the Vishwamitri River, which flows through the city. Historically, Sur Sagar also served as a primary source of drinking water for the city. The most iconic feature of Sur Sagar Lake is the majestic 120-foot-tall statue of Lord Shiva erected in its center in 2002 by the Vadodara Mahanagar Seva Sadan. This colossal statue, standing proudly amidst the waters, is a popular focal point and is spectacularly illuminated on Saturday and Sunday evenings, creating a mesmerizing sight. During the auspicious Maha Shivaratri Festival, the Shiva statue becomes the center of grand celebrations and draws large crowds. The lake itself is a vibrant hub of activity. While fishing is prohibited, it's home to various fish and turtles. The concrete walls surrounding the lake provide ample space for visitors to stroll, sit, and enjoy the tranquil evenings. Boating facilities are also available, allowing visitors to experience the lake's serenity from the water. Sur Sagar Lake is a beloved spot for locals for leisurely walks, evening relaxation, and experiencing the city's pulse. It perfectly blends historical significance with urban recreation, offering a peaceful retreat amidst the city's dynamic energy and serving as a picturesque landmark of Vadodara.
