An artificial lake, it was beautified by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) after 2002 and has since become a popular spot in the city. Every weekend, a large number of people visit this lake. It currently boasts an open air theatre and children's park. There is a pathway all around the lake which serves many walkers and joggers in the early mornings and in the evenings. The lush green lawns surrounding this lake also serve as a central hub of Ahmedabad, wherein various cultural events take place regularly. At times, the water from Narmada River is allowed to flow into this lake. The lake has pretty gardens with lots of stone work in them.
