'''Lake Badi''', situated in [[Udaipur]] city in the [[India]]n state of [[Rajasthan]], is an artificial fresh water lake. The lake was built in the village of Badi, about 12&nbsp;km from the city of [[Udaipur]], by Maharana Raj Singh I (1652-1680) to counteract the devastating effects of a famine. He named it Jiyan Sagar after his mother Jana Devi. The lake covers an area of 155&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>., and has an embankment 180 m. long and 18 m. wide, which is graced by three artistic chhatris (kiosks or pavilions). During the drought of 1973, the lake supplied water to the people of Udaipur.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.amazingudaipur.com/lakes%20of%20udaipur.html#badi|title=Badi lake|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090106143612/http://www.amazingudaipur.com/lakes%20of%20udaipur.html#badi|archivedate=6 January 2009|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Devoid of any commercial activity, the Badi Lake gives a view of a never-ending expanse providing a serene and calm atmosphere to the visitors.
