This beautiful lake as well village was settled by Maharaja Hamer Singh Ji of Udaipur, approximately being 60 kms from Udaipur , and comes under Taladiri Panchayat. Besides Kumbhalgarh is 7 kms from here and Kelwara junction 500 meters ahead of this Lake. There is an ancient Shikhar Mandir of Laxmi Narayan Mandir overlooking the lake which is 800 to 900 years old. The village accommodates 110 houses and farming main occupation. The unique point about the lake is African Cat Fish from Australia, put by a Lake Contractor some 10 to 12 years ago for fishing purposes. But due to religious reasons and villager's protest it couldn't succeed. Since then it became a Fish View Point for tourists. As you come here , friendly villagers welcome you and you can go down the stairs near the bank and feed them with toasts and biscuits available from fish feeding shops, here. Indeed a nice view when all open their mouth to grab a bite/piece. Yet how they all struggle for one morsel can be little disturbing to watch. They are in huge numbers. Also according to a local , even 3-4 crocodiles reside in Lake. But the kids would love the splashes from fish as they quaver for food you throw, and their distinctive mouth openings. Amidst the pandemic , this place offers a good long drive and a site memorable for toddlers to adults. Also you can get to see big bats hanging in huge numbers on a tree beneath...
