Dhani Sagar

Dhani Sagar is an artificial lake located in Udaipur, the former capital of the Tripura kingdom, in Gomati district, Tripura. Excavated during the Manikya dynasty period, it is one of several historic sagars that characterize the town. The lake is noted for its large water expanse, serene surroundings and heritage value, and is situated near other cultural landmarks of Udaipur, making it a notable stop for visitors exploring the town's historic lakes and temples.

Visitors can expect a large, open artificial lake with calm waters surrounded by trees and residential areas of Udaipur town. The site offers open views of the water, earthen embankments and ghats used by locals. It is a quiet place for sightseeing, photography and leisurely walks along the banks, with a natural and heritage setting typical of Udaipur's historic sagars.

Dhani Sagar is one of the historic sagars excavated in Udaipur when it was the capital of the Manikya kingdom. Like other large tanks in the town such as Amar Sagar and Jagannath Dighi, it was created by the rulers of Tripura to provide water storage and to mark the prosperity of the capital. It reflects the tradition of tank excavation under the Manikya dynasty.

As part of Udaipur's cluster of sacred and historic lakes, Dhani Sagar holds local cultural importance and contributes to the town's identity as a lake town. The lakes of Udaipur are traditionally associated with religious and community life and are visited alongside nearby temples during cultural tours of the former princely capital.
