Small reservoir and swampy dam inside IIT Madras offering quiet water reflections, reed/mangrove textures and regular waterbird activity. Shoot golden-hour reflections at sunrise or soft backlight at sunset; post-monsoon lifts water levels and bird diversity. Campus access may require gate permission; park at visitor parking and walk to the lakeside. Weekday mornings are least crowded; bring mosquito repellent during warm months.
