South India Hebbal Lake Mysore Vlog – [S1-EP8]
The picturesque Hebbal Lake, located at the intersection of Bellary Road and Outer Ring Road, is one of Bangalore’s most popular tourist destinations (ORR). This majestic lake is a must-see for anyone who enjoys spending time in nature’s embrace. This lake is a visual and spiritual delight despite being surrounded by the ever-growing skyscrapers of the city.
It is a seasonal lake that empties up during the summer and is replenished annually by monsoon rains. Tall trees and flowering plants bordering the lake’s shore enhance its splendour. On the well-maintained promenade, one may take a stroll.
Hebbal Lake History
Kempe Gowda I, the creator of Bengaluru (also known as Bangalore), commissioned several lakes, one of which was Hebbal Lake. The formation of Hebbal Lake was similar to that of the other lakes and tanks because bunds or embankments were built to block the natural valley systems.
Due to water pollution, inadequate maintenance, and a lack of public awareness, Hebbal Lake lost its splendour over time. In the late 1900s, it was restored at considerable expense, and two artificial islands were also constructed to develop a sustainable ecosystem. Since then, it has attracted daily devotees to its beauty.
The Lake Development Authority, a non-profit organization established to maintain the city’s lakes, manages this beautiful lake.
