The three lakes which also have been revived include Bajal, Kudroli and Jeppinamogaru.
Gujjarakere lake’s revival was significant as it has a long history attached to it.
“Given its historical importance, Gujjarakere’s revival was of utmost need. The lake had become a dumping ground. All the accumulated trash, weeds and silt was cleared. New steel railings and a jogging and walking track were built around it. But most of all we want the revival of the age-old traditions of deities on procession being brought to the lake for a holy dip,” said MLA Vedavyas Kamath.
