Located on a small island in the middle of Lake Fatehsagar, the Udaipur Solar Observatory is a unique scientific institution. It's considered one of the best sites in Asia for solar observation due to the surrounding water, which reduces air turbulence and improves image clarity. The observatory is managed by the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad and is an active center for research in solar physics.
