'''Vastrapur Lake''' is situated in western part of [[Ahmedabad]]. It is officially named after [[Narsinh Mehta]]. The lake was beautified by the [[Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation|AMC]] after 2002 and has since become a popular spot in the city.<br />
<br />
Every weekend, many people visit this lake. It currently boasts an open-air theater and children's park. There is a pathway all around the lake which serves many walkers and joggers in the early mornings and in the evenings.<br />
<br />
The lush green lawns surrounding this lake also serve as a central hub of Ahmedabad, wherein various cultural events take place regularly.<br />
<br />
At times, the water from [[Narmada River]] is allowed to flow into this lake. The lake is surrounded by pretty gardens with much stonework.<ref>{{cite web |author=Prashant Dayal |title=Vastrapur Lake infused life in new Amdavad|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Vastrapur-Lake-infused-life-in-new-Amdavad/articleshow/5146805.cms |date=2009-10-22 |access-date=2016-03-12|work=The Times of India}}</ref><br />

In 2013, Vastrapur lake was renamed to 'Bhakt Kavi Narsinh Mehta Sarovar' in memory of [[Narsinh Mehta]] and a statue of Narsinh Mehta was installed in the garden of lake.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://deshgujarat.com/2013/02/25/vastrapur-lake-to-become-narsinh-mehta-sarovar/|title=Vastrapur Lake to become Narsinh Mehta Sarovar|date=2013-02-25|access-date=2016-03-12}}</ref><br />

People removed dead fish, and moved surviving fish elsewhere.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://cebudailynews.inquirer.net/92461/el-nino-dries-up-asia-as-la-nina-looms|title=El Niño dries up Asia as La Niña looms|last=AFP|date=2016-04-30|website=Cebu Daily News|language=en-US|access-date=2016-05-02}}</ref><br />
