Ullal Lake

This lake is under a major renovation and the big water supply (drainage) passing adjacent to lake is now having a separate channel – it won’t be mixed with lake water. This lake has been cleaned and is fenced, but right now there is no water. If the lake is filled, the excess water will come to the other side of lake – right now there is some water in that area. Again,I need to revisit this lake when water is there in the lake, that would be a different and nice view. 

Similar to the Malathalli lake, this lake is also having a separate tank for Ganapati Visarjan (a Kalyani) – one corner of lake, but is a separate tank.

It was a nice surprise to see this lake after visiting Deepanjali Nagar lake. Its way inside and may be a couple of kilometers from Ullal lake.After many days I have seen such a big lake, well fenced, remote – so not much spoiled by plastics or garbage. It is having lot of water and might be deep also. I did not get any information written by BBMP on the size of lake or any additional information. May be they will do it slowly.  

One thing to notice is that they have a separate tank for Ganapati Visarjan (a Kalyani) – one corner of lake, but is a separate tank. That way BBMP can keep the lake clean and can immerse many ganapati idols also during festival. The pavement surrounding the lake is still muddy and no stone work is done. But once that is done, it would be a few KMs walk to take one round of this lake.

Deepanjali Nagar Lake

I had visited this lake a couple of times but as it was in the evening, so could not take proper photos. Now today when I went there after almost 3-4 months, I see a big difference. The renovation is going on in this lake and now it is well fenced.  This lake will have a public park and a lake together. Adjacent to this lake, there is drainage – so basically we have continuous water supply. Yes, strange but its good to have some water supply nearby. May be previously this was directly linked to lake and now they are making sure that this water does not reach the lake. 

I did not see any water purification plant near this lake – but may be it might be on its way. If that is done and purified water is put in lake, this will also be one of the beautiful lakes to visit.
