Chembarambakkam Lake Chennai


This is Chembarambakkam Lake, one of two big reservoirs that supply the city of Chennai with water.  What appears to be a Chinese pagoda in the water is actually a decorative cover for a water pump.  The road alongside the reservoir is a popular spot to cool off when the city is experiencing a heat spell, which is most of the time!  Chembarambakkam Lake is 40 km. outside of Chennai off of NH 4 on the Chennai-Bangalore Highway.

    Such an interesting way to dress up a water pump!

    The pagoda like silhouette adds a bit of magic to the photo. Nice.

    Never have seen a water pump with a dress before! :-)

    I would guess people swim and fish and sail in this reservoir, right?
