RAS question

The Fateh Sagar Lake in Udaipur is connected to which other lake?

Correct answer: (B) Pichola.

Fateh Sagar Lake in Udaipur is connected to the adjoining Lake Pichola through a canal.

  1. (A)

    Jaisamand

  2. (B)

    Pichola

  3. (C)

    Pushkar

  4. (D)

    Rajsamand

Explanation

Fateh Sagar is linked with Pichola, not with a distant Rajasthan lake. The connecting channel is Swaroop Sagar, and Fateh Sagar is connected to the adjoining Lake Pichhola through a canal with sluice gates. This matters because Udaipur is treated as a system of interconnected lakes: Pichola, Fateh Sagar, Swaroop Sagar, Rang Sagar, Kumharia Talab and Goverdhan Sagar are all within the municipal limits. Fateh Sagar itself is a perennial lake, constructed in 1678 and renovated in 1889 by Maharana Fatehsingh and the Duke of Connaught.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Jaisamand is a separate lake south of Udaipur, so it is not the adjoining lake linked to Fateh Sagar by the canal in the Udaipur lake system.
  • (C) Pushkar Lake is in Ajmer district, whereas the question is about the connected lakes within Udaipur's lake system.
  • (D) Rajsamand is in a different district, so it does not match the Udaipur-specific Fateh Sagar connection.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan physical geography through lake locations and interconnections, a recurring RAS theme because Udaipur's lake system is a standard map-based and environment-geography reference point.
