Sukhna Lake, Artificial reservoir at Shivalik Hills foothills, Chandigarh, India
The three-square-kilometer Sukhna Lake stretches along the Shivalik Hills with a 1.52-kilometer-long promenade designed for walking and recreational activities.
Le Corbusier incorporated this reservoir into Chandigarh's urban plan in 1958 by damming the Sukhna Choe stream flowing from the Shivalik Hills.
The lake grounds host the annual Chandigarh Carnival and Mango Festival, where visitors experience regional Indian performances and food traditions.
Visitors can participate in multiple water activities including paddle boating, kayaking, rowing, and water skiing throughout designated areas of the lake.
Every summer, local residents maintain a traditional practice of volunteering to remove silt from the lake bed to preserve its water capacity.
