Which of the following is the largest lagoon lake situated on the east coast of India ?

Explanation

Chilika Lake, located in the state of Odisha, is the largest lagoon lake in India and the second-largest brackish water lagoon in the world. It is situated on the east coast of India at the mouth of the Daya River, flowing into the Bay of Bengal. It was designated as the first Indian wetland of international importance under the Ramsar Convention in 1981.

  • Pulicat Lake is the second-largest brackish water lagoon in India, located on the border of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
  • Kolleru Lake (spelled as Kulleru in the question) is one of the largest freshwater lakes in India, located in Andhra Pradesh, and is not a lagoon.
  • Kaliveli Lake (spelled as Kilivali in the question) is a coastal wetland in Tamil Nadu, but it is much smaller in scale compared to Chilika.
