Through the years

Nothing on record for 1928 to 1956, 1958 to 1977 and 1979 to 1983.

The records listed below, drawn on one line from 1927 to 2026.
  1. 1927

    Not on the survey map

  2. 1957

    Built

    As the 2018 lake survey records it

  3. 1978

    Not on the survey map

  4. 1984-2021

    No open water seen in any year

    The lake is small for this record, so treat it as rough

  5. 2015

    Gone by 2015, says the 2018 lake survey

    5.97 acres surveyed

  6. 2017-2025

    Mostly built on or bare every year

    The lake is known only as a point or is under a quarter acre, so the shares are rough

    About three in four of these readings are right, so trust what holds for several years

  7. 2024

    On the state's list of Bengaluru lakes, looked after by BBMP

  8. 2025-2026

    Mostly dry or built after the monsoon and in the dry season

    The lake is small for these images, so treat the shares as rough

    After monsoon, Oct 2025 to Dec 2025

    • 0% open water
    • 0% floating weed
    • 100% dry or built

    Dry season, Mar 2026 to May 2026

    • 0% open water
    • 0% floating weed
    • 100% dry or built
