Ranchi Lake, Ranchi, Jharkhand India

A British agent, Colonel Onsely in the year 1842, excavated the centrally located Ranchi Lake. The beautiful lake is situated at the base of the Ranchi Hill. With an ethereal charm exclusively of its own, the lake stands pretty though it does not conform to its original conception. The lake is situated almost in the middle of the town, with a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva atop the Ranchi Hill. The hill also offers a kaleidoscopic view of the entire town and the surrounding areas.
