About

Agastya lake, also sometimes written as Agasthya lake or referred to as Vatapi lake, is an artificial lake built c. 5th-7th century in Badami, Karnataka, South India. It is a popular tourist spot, as it is overlooked by the Badami cave temples.

The name Vatapi lake comes from the fact that Badami was previously called Vatapi.
