Loktak Lake, Freshwater lake in Moirang, India.

The surface of Loktak Lake contains numerous circular vegetation masses called phumdis that form a network of floating islands across 287 square kilometers.

The Loktak Multipurpose Project, established in 1983, transformed the lake into a water reservoir that generates 105 megawatts of hydroelectric power for the region.

The annual Loktak Day celebration on October 15th brings together local communities to recognize the importance of the lake through traditional ceremonies.

The lake supplies water to 55 surrounding communities and supports the livelihood of 100,000 residents through fishing, agriculture, and hydropower generation.

Keibul Lamjao National Park, situated within Loktak Lake, stands as the only floating national park worldwide and protects the rare Sangai deer species.
