In picture sunset from Upper lake, Bhopal.
The Upper and Lower Lakes of Bhopal are kind of the pride of Bhopal, though now they are being faced by problems of pollution, detoriation of quality of water and siltation. Both these lakes are man made reservoirs. Upper Lake was created by Raja Bhoj, Dhar king in 11th century by constructing an earthen dam across the Kolans River.The Upper Lake has catchment area of 361 sq. km and water spread area of 31 sq. km. The wetland area of these lakes supports a wide variety of flora and fauna. Diverse flora provide ideal habitat in the form of food and shelter for a large number of avifauna, a delight for nature lovers. Sunset at upper lake especially in summers is thing to watch - probably that is the reason Bhopal Municipal Corporation has named one corner of the lake which has a park as 'Vardham sunset point'. One could also see Takia Island, in the picture. Takia Island is a small island on upper lake which has a mazhar of the Shah Ali Shah Rahamatulla Alliah and has religious significance.
