Gobind Sagar is a man-made reservoir created by the Bhakra Dam on the Sutlej River in Himachal Pradesh. It's one of India's largest reservoirs by water capacity. However, the question asks about the 'largest man-made lake' - by surface area, other reservoirs like Indira Sagar (Madhya Pradesh) or Nagarjuna Sagar (Telangana) might be larger depending on the metric (area vs volume). The exact answer depends on whether measuring water storage capacity or surface area.

Bhakra Dam on the Sutlej River is India's highest dam at 226 meters. Completed in 1963, it's a crucial multipurpose project for irrigation and hydroelectricity. Hirakud is India's longest dam but not tallest. Tehri Dam (not listed) is now higher but was built later.
