Sursagar Lake in Vadodara

Sursagar Lake, also known as the Chand Talao, is a lake situated in the middle of the city of Vadodara in the state of Gujarat in India. The lake was rebuilt with stone masonry in the 18th century. The water in this lake remains in it for the whole year. A concrete wall surrounds the lake on which the people use to sit.[citation needed]

A 111 feet (34 m) tall statue of lord Shiva built by Vadodara Mahanagar Seva Sadan stands in the middle of the lake. The construction of the statue started in 1996 and it was completed in 2002. In 2023 on the festival Mahashivratri the statue of Lord Shiva was gilded. The gilding utilized about 17.5 kg (39 lb) of gold. The gold plated statue of Lord Shiva has now been officially dedicated to the city and its people. The value of gold itself is about 12 Crore Indian Rupees ($1,449,879.60 as of February 2023)[1][2] The statue of Shiva is lit with lights on Mahashivratri.[citation needed]

There are many underwater gates in the lake which empty the lake if it overflows. The water from the lake empties in the Vishvamitri River. The lake was used for boating.[citation needed]

In 2023 after the remodeling of the statue and the surroundings boating has been resumed in the lake.[citation needed][3]

The lake is known for a large number of suicides which occur yearly. Between January and October 2014, 15 suicides were reported to the authorities, who attribute the lake's isolation and seclusion make it a choice destination for suicides. [4]
