Nakki Lake:
Nakhi is a very ancient sacred Lake, according to the Hindu legent. It was so called because; it was dug out from Nails (Nakh) of Gods to live in, for protection against the oppressions of Bashkali-a wicked demon. It is an Artificial Lake surrounded by hill of Aravalli range. The Lake is about a half mile long and quarter of mile broad and 20 to 30 ft. deep towards the dam on the west. The green hills near the lake, date-palms and Gandi Ghat garden enhance its beauty. The ashes of Mahatma Gandhi were immersed in this Holly Lake on 12th February, 1948 and Gandhi Ghat was constructed, with green lawns, colorful flower beds and gushing fountains, in his memory. In the heart of the Lake, a Jet fountain was installed in the year 1972 A.D., from which the colored water, gushes out very high in the Sky.
There is also a boating facility provided by Municipal Board on a petty payment.

Gyan Sarovar - The Lake of Knowledge :
Gyan Sarovar is officially known as ‘The Academy for a Better World’.
