Episodes of Lake Marathon: 06 Lingambudhi Lake
Hi there! Welcome to 'What's around us to explore' and this is my 6th Lake from the 'Episodes of Lake Marathon'. After covering 4 most popular lakes of Mysuru, its time for me to pay a visit to one of the largest and the oldest lake 'Lingambudhi lake'. It is found in the village named Lingambudhi of Mysuru, in which I have some of my teenage memories. During my college days, me and my friends used to bunk classes and used to visit the lake for watching birds, we used to land up counting some seven sisters and some leaf birds. During summer the lake used to be completely dry and cattle used to graze. But now the things have changed. The lake has a beautiful park now and has been a popular place in the city for morning/evening walks, bird watching, nature walks, butterfly watching and even a new botanical garden has been set up in the premises. On September 2022, during Dasara season, the botanical garden was open for public. Better late than never, now tha
