About Pichola Lake
Beautiful Lake Pichola was enlarged by Maharaja Udai Singh II after he
founded the city. He built a masonry dam, known as the Badipol, and the
lake is now 4km long and 3 km wide. Nevertheless, it remains fairly
shallow and can actually dry up - in severe droughts it's possible to
walk to Jagniwas and Jagmandir island.
A handful of crocodiles are believed to inhabit the more remote parts
of the lake, near the inhabited sections of the shore. The City Palace
extends for a long stretch along the east bank.
