Gates of Fatehsagar to open tomorrow - Monsoon 2020 at its peak

Udaipur's Fatehsagar lake is all set to overflow on 6 September.

The inflow of water for the  2020 season began on 24 August with the waters from Picchola and Madar canal beginning to enter Fatehsagar. Subsequent to that, it took 12 days of often moderate and intermittent heavy downpours to fill up the feeders Madar lake and Picchola through Sisarma river, which begins at Popelti. 

Once these lakes began to overflow, the water began coming in to Fatehsagar along with the local rainfall. In 2019, the lake gates were opened on September.

It is nothing short of a festival when the Fatehsagar lake overflows and the Chaadar, as locals call it, is a sight to witness.

The local establishment has set up colored lights near the overflow point along with CCTV cameras to prepare a live feed of the overflow.
