Para Lake, officially Swami Vivekanand Lake, is a man-made lake located in Mehsana city in the Indian state of Gujarat. Excavated during the Gaekwad rule, it was redeveloped and opened in 2019.

History

[edit]

The lake was excavated during the Gaekwad rule.[1] It is spread over area of 950 square metres (10,200 sq ft).[2] In 2007, the Mehsana Municipality appointed a contractor for beautification and redevelopment of the lake and the project was started by Anil Patel, then Member of Gujarat Legislative Assembly. After initial spending of 80 lakh (US$96,000), the project was delayed due to allegations of scam. The project was delayed for several years and the estimated cost increased from 3 crore (US$360,000) to 7.8 crore (US$930,000). The project was restarted in 2016.[2][1][3] The lake was renamed after Swami Vivekanand[4] and opened to the public on 4 August 2019 by Deputy Chief Minister Nitinbhai Patel.[2]

Amenities

[edit]

The children play area, yoga centre, food court, jogging tracks and boating felicities are developed and a toy train is introduced.[5][6]
