Masunda Lake (Thane)

India / Maharashtra / Thana / Thane
The lake has an island at the center, on which a Temple was built in ancient times. Today a beutiful temple stands in its place, illuminated with coloured lights.
This lake is very old - might have been created by meterorite - as there are several lakes in Thane, which is the sign of it.
Previously this lake was extending upto the Shiv Mandir on the East. In 1950s a new road was constructed by reducing the area of the lake to almost half its original size, to take care of traffic load. Several gardens, a vegetable market & a small ground - Shivaji Maidan were created in between the Temple & Lake.
Also known as the Masunda Lake this is one of the most famous landmark in Thane.
Famous for boat rides and food stalls..this is a great place for hangout!!!

  • Masunda lake is the pride of Thane city but it is neglected by and polluted by its local people. Main concern is dumping used flowers from temples and garlands, which the citizens thinks they are impressing God but they are infact destroying his creation which I know he does not like it.
  • Talao Pali is really a nice place for hangouts at weekends..but locals put flowers and all refuse in lake ...once I asked a man as to why he was putting refusein lake ,he said ,he was putting food for fishes..I said o.k.
  • nice lake for visiting Really good place people can go there and relax there
