History
The lake was built in the village of Badi, about 12 km from Udaipur, by Maharana Raj Singh I (1652–1680) to counteract the devastating effects of a famine. He named it Jiyan Sagar after his mother Jana Devi. The lake covers an area of 155 km2 and has an embankment 180 m long and 18 m wide, graced by three artistic chhatris (kiosks or pavilions). During the drought of 1973, Lake Badi supplied water to the people of Udaipur.[1]
