Detail InformationEdit
The Moti Baug tank is also locally referred to as the Kambar Talao Lake and is a great bird watching centre found in the district of Solapur. This spot is huge hit amongst nature lovers and bird watchers who visit this place to observe the several migratory birds that make Mot Baug Lake their temporary haven. Kambar Talao was once replete with pretty pink and white lotuses that floated here. However, ever since the SMC took up the maintenance and cleaning up of the tank, there haven’t been many lotuses to see oft late. There are a few lotuses still there, doing there little bit to add more beauty to this nature’s piece of heaven.
