Fateh
Sagar
Lake
is
situated
in
the
city
of
Udaipur
in
the
Indian
state
of
Rajasthan.
It
is
an
artificial
lake
named
after
Maharana
Fateh
Singh
of
Udaipur
and
Mewar,
constructed
north-west
of
Udaipur,
to
the
north
of
Lake
Pichola
in
the
1680s.
It
is
one
of
the
four
lakes
of
the
Udaipur
city;
the
other
three
being:
the
Lake
Pichola
(within
the
Udaipur
town),
Udai
Sagar
Lake,
13
kilometres
(8.1
mi)
to
the
east
of
Udaipur,
and
Dhebar
Lake
or
Jaisamand
Lake,
52
km
(32
mi)
south
east
of
Udaipur.[1][2]
Within
the
confines
of
the
Fatah
Sagar
Lake,
there
are
three
small
islands;
the
largest
of
these
is
the
Nehru
Park
(4
km2
(1.5
sq
mi)
area),
which
is
a
popular
tourist
attraction,
the
second
island
(0.06
km2
or
15
acres
area)
houses
a
public
park
with
an
impressive
water-jet
fountain,
and
the
third
island
(1.2
km2
area)
is
the
address
for
the
Udaipur
Solar
Observatory
(USO).
The
Nehru
park
is
accessible
by
inboard
motor
boats.
The
blue
waters
of
the
lake
and
the
backdrop
of
the
green
mountains
has
given
the
soubriquet
"the
second
Kashmir"
to
Udaipur
.[1]
Udaipur
Lake
Conservation
Society's
reports
indicate
that
the
lake
supports
and
sustains
ground
water
recharge,
drinking
water,
agricultural
use,
industrial
use,
ecological
water
availability
and
provides
employment
to
60%
population
of
Udaipur.
