Shanti Sagara Lake

 

Also called as Sulekere, Shanti Sagara Lake is believed to be Asia's second largest lake ( 27 sq kms) and thus is a local tourist attraction. Shantisagara is a man-made lake built in 11th or 12th century AD by Princess Shantavva after whom the lake is named. It is the lifeline of Davanagere and Chitradurga districts as it is the main source of water supply for drinking and agriculture. Veerabhadreshwara Temple, Kali Temple, Sri Siddheshwara Temple and Sri Krishna temple are located in the proximity of the lake and attracts lots of devotees throughout the year. Boating facility is also available.
