Maharana Jai Singh, a ruler of Udairpur was responsible for the construction of the lake as early as the 17th Century.

Maharana Fateh Singh, another ruler, took it upon himself to personally sponsor the re-building of it; the lake was thereafter named in his honour.

Adding to its scenic beauty are the 3 islands situated within the lake. The largest of these consists of a large garden the Nehru Park, a restaurant and a zoo!
