    Kankaria Lake

    AhmedabadIndia1451 (15th century)

    Kankaria Lake, constructed in 1451 by Sultan Qutb-ud-Din Ahmad Shah II, is a massive 34-sided polygonal reservoir covering 76 acres in the Maninagar area of Ahmedabad, Gujarat. At the precise geometric center of the lake lies Nagina Wadi, a enchanted island garden housing the historic Ghattamandal summer palace. While Kankaria Lake is today a major urban entertainment hub complete with hot air balloons, toy trains, and musical fountains, it possesses an eerie dark side. Over its nearly six-century history, the lake has been the backdrop for royal court intrigues, drowning tragedies, and mysterious suicides, giving rise to persistent local legends of ghostly apparitions on Nagina Wadi island and strange lights rising from the dark waters after midnight.
