Futala Lake, Heritage lake in western Nagpur, India.
Futala Lake is a large water body in western Nagpur surrounded by forests on three sides and paved walkways that circle the entire shore. The lake features multiple fountains of varying heights, with a central display and smaller colored fountains creating focal points along the water's edge.
This water body was created as a reservoir by Nagpur's rulers over 200 years ago to serve the region's needs. Major renovation projects beginning in the early 2000s transformed it into the landscaped recreational space visitors experience today.
A temple at the waterside serves as a focal point for quiet reflection within the lakeside community. The landscaped embankment area hosts multiple food vendors offering regional cuisine that draws locals seeking meals with a view.
The lake is easily reached by public buses, auto-rickshaws, or taxis with well-maintained pathways for walking around the shore. Early morning or late afternoon visits offer the most comfortable experience due to cooler temperatures and softer lighting.
The water supports a variety of aquatic creatures and birds that can be spotted while walking the pathways around the shore. This wildlife presence makes the shoreline a favorite spot for those interested in observing nature.
