Ghat of Lakha Banjara Lake
History and Significance: This vast water body, also known as Sagar Lake, covers nearly 400 acres and is the soul of the city. Legend says it was built by a wealthy trader named Lakha Banjara in the 16th century. Folklore suggests he sacrificed his family members to bring water to the parched land d uring a severe drought. Today, it serves as a primary source of water and a recreational hub for the locals. The banks are lined with several Ghats and temples that come alive during evening prayers.
