Pavana Lake, Artificial reservoir in Pune district, India
The waters of Pavana Lake stretch across the landscape, bordered by mountains of the Western Ghats and surrounded by dense vegetation.
The construction of Pavana Dam in 1973 created this reservoir, transforming the local geography and establishing a water source for nearby communities.
The reservoir has developed into a gathering place where local residents and visitors participate in traditional outdoor activities and community celebrations.
Visitors can access the lake via the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, with a diversion at Kamshet leading directly to the water's edge.
A 2018 incident involving the capture of an alligator gar fish in the lake raised questions about non-native species in the ecosystem.
