Karna Lake is a major tourist attraction in the
Mahabharat, used to bathe in this lake. It was at this spot that he gave away his protective armor to Indra, the Godfather of Arjuna, Karna's arch-enemy. It is surmised that the city of Karnal derives its name from Karna-Taal, which translates to Karna Lake. That may also be the reason for Karnal to be called the City of Karna
in local parlance.
Karna Lake is maintained by Haryana Tourism Corporation.
