Kishore Sagar Lake

Kishore Sagar Lake is an artificial freshwater reservoir constructed in 1346 by Bundi Prince Dehra Deh in the heart of Kota, Rajasthan. The lake features the iconic Jagmandir Palace on a small central island, built in the 18th century by Maharani Brij Kunwar. This serene urban lake is a popular tourist destination offering scenic views, boating facilities, and proximity to Seven Wonders Park.

Visitors can enjoy peaceful walks along the lakeside promenade with views of the red-sandstone Jagmandir Palace situated on an island in the center of the lake. The area offers boating opportunities including pedal boats and shikaras, particularly in the late afternoon and evening when golden-hour reflections create picturesque scenes. The adjacent Seven Wonders Park features miniature replicas of world monuments. The lakeside is free to access and well-maintained with gardens providing spaces for relaxation.

The lake was constructed in 1346 at the request of Bundi Prince Dehra Deh. In the 18th century, during the reign of Maharani Brij Kunwar (wife of Maharao Durjansal), the Jagmandir Palace was built on the lake's central island around 1740-1745 as a pleasure pavilion.

Kishore Sagar Lake is one of Kota's most cherished landmarks and the most-visited place in the city. It represents the region's royal heritage through the Jagmandir Palace and serves as an important cultural and recreational space for locals and tourists.
