Badi Lake, known as Jiyan Sagar, is a fascinating freshwater lake that is situated on the periphery of Udaipur. It was constructed in the 17th century by
Maharana Raj Singh of Mewar as a solution to the water scarcity problem in the area and thus showcased the outstanding water conservation tradition
that the Mewar rulers used to practice. Badi Lake, embraced by the Aravalli hills, boasts a peaceful, natural environment and pure water which are not
affected at all by the commercial activities around. The lake is a destination for tourists who want to enjoy its tranquil atmosphere, get amazed by the stunning
views and watch the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. It is, moreover, a very popular place for photography, quiet walks, and nature lovers who want to
escape the city noise and enjoy the peace of the place.
