A hidden oasis of tranquillity and wonder
Nestled within a secluded paradise, the Lakhnavaram Lake stands as a testament to nature's artistry and human ingenuity. This magnificent body of water emerged from the union of three narrow valleys, each now embraced by a modest embankment while majestic hills serve as their natural guardians. The lake's isolated setting offers you the luxury of solace from hustle and bustle of everyday life.
As you approach this hidden gem, you'll be greeted by a landscape teeming with lush and crystal-clear streams, painting a picture of abundant natural beauty. The crown jewel of this enchanting scene is the suspension bridge - a marvel that seems to float above the water, inviting adventurers to cross its span and discover the mysteries of the lake's central islet. For taking in lake's peaceful embrace, boat rides are available, gliding you across mirror-like waters to the most secluded corners of this aquatic wonderland.
Intricacy that survived the ages
The lake and its surroundings are immersed in the rich history of the Kakatiya dynasty. The origin of the lake dates back to the rule of the Kakatiyas. Under their rule, the architecture and infrastructure development were very well-known and flourishing. The lake and temple are an example of it. The lake was built with the initiative to provide water for the improvement and facilitation of agriculture. It was a vital water source for supporting the lives of the locals. Kakatiya rulers are well known for undertaking and building various water resources such as lakes, ponds, and reservoirs to lessen the impact of droughts and low rainfalls.
These vital infrastructures have been proven beneficial since their ages. Building such water sources improves the living conditions of the people. Laknavaram Lake was built after digging up natural land and turning it into a reservoir for preserving rainwater. The location of the lake was set up in such a place that it allows easy storage of water from the nearby streams and rivers. This strategic move enabled the secure supply of water to the surrounding regions. This ensured that the fertility of the land and production supply was well-maintained.
The control over the lake changed over time with different rulers, administrations and colonisation, but each time the Laknavaram Lake was well maintained, ensuring the lake provided a vital source of water. The Lake has always been an important spring for meeting the agricultural demands and sustaining life. The lake is a destination enriched with history, culture, success and most importantly an example of excellent management. If the lake continues to be well-maintained, our future generation will also be able to revel in its beauty.
