Does it have to be cities only, there are lots of lakes in India that are nowhere near cities. Beautiful lakes of/in India seems a better title IMO

Since I have opened this thread titled "Indian Cities with Beautiful Lakes" I expect lakes which are within city limits. They must have urban setting around them.You can open another thread Titled "Beautiful lakes of/in India" in the India imaginative thread which can showcase beautiful lakes in general.
