Jumma Talao

Jumma Talao is a lake in Nagpur that stretches across a large area of the city and serves as a natural water body within the urban environment. Located near the Raman Science Center, the water body is maintained as a public resource.

The lake was established during the reign of Chand Sultan and maintained its role as a central water body through multiple centuries. This extended history made it an important part of the city's development.

The lake is known by several names in the local community, each reflecting different linguistic and historical layers of the region. These varied designations show how different groups have connected with this water body over time.

The lake can be accessed through multiple entry points spread around the area, making it easy for visitors to reach the water. The site is managed by the local municipal authority with regular opening hours.

The lake functions as both a recreation spot for residents and a habitat supporting local wildlife and plants. This dual purpose makes it unusual among urban water bodies that often serve just one function.
