Fatehsagar Lake Udaipur: Waterbody Considered Pride of Udaipur

Made by erstwhile Mewar king Maharana Jai Singh, its origins can be traced back to 1678. The pear-shaped lake is among the most frequented tourist spots in Udaipur. It is 2.4 km long and width is 1.6 km. It was revamped in 1889 by Maharana Fatah Singh, after whom it has been named.
