Vastrapur Lake was built in 2002 by Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) which was later renamed ‘Bhakt Kavi Narsinh Mehta Sarovar’. Kavi Narsinh Mehta also known as Narsinh Bhagatwas, a poet and a saint born in Gujarat in the 15th century.

Later in 2016, the lake dried up due to the excessive heat and lack of adequate rainfall in the year. Then the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation decided to fill the lake with Narmada’s river water.
