Udaipur Solar Observatory, Solar observatory on Fateh Sagar Lake island, Udaipur, India.
The research facility features multiple telescopes and instruments for studying solar chromospheric activities, magnetic fields, and velocity measurements on a daily basis.
Dr. Arvind Bhatnagar established the observatory in 1976, modeling it after the Solar Observatory at Big Bear Lake in California, United States.
The observatory contributes to international solar research programs through the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad, advancing scientific understanding across borders.
Access to the observatory requires a boat ride across Fateh Sagar Lake, with visiting hours from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM throughout the week.
The observatory's location on a lake island reduces air turbulence from ground heating, enabling clearer solar observations with 1-2 arc second accuracy.
