Para Lake, officially Swami Vivekanand Lake, is located in Mehsana city in Gujarat state of India. 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$92,000), 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$340,000) to ₹7.8 crore (US$900,000). 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]
