Lingambudhi stands first in terms of richness entirely due to its location bordering growing city.

Now this lake is close to a residential area called Srirampura.

The lake was serving as a source of drinking water, irrigation, and fish produce; as a site for washing clothes and cattle; and as a place of religious worship for the people of Lingambudhi Palya, a village in the vicinity of the lake.

A notification from the DCs office dated 28 August 2003, in response to the Forest Department’s proposal of 2001, had finally declared the Lingambudhi lake and its environs as a protected forest area and had transferred the ownership to the Forest Department.

This was one of the significant milestones in the history of Lingambudhi lake which now enjoys the status of a protected forest.
