About About the place

Thonnur Lake, located in the Mandya district of Karnataka, is a tranquil water body steeped in history and spirituality. Situated a short distance from Pandavapura and Melukote, this lake is associated with the Vaishnavite saint Ramanujacharya, who resided here in the 11th century. The lake is surrounded by natural beauty and features three notable Hindu temples nearby. While relatively undeveloped in terms of tourist facilities, it provides a calm and authentic experience for those seeking respite from bustling city life. The lake is a popular spot for swimming, picnics, and enjoying the natural landscape.

Best season
