Ghora Katora Lake is a natural lake located in the serene environs of Rajgir in the Indian state of Bihar.

The name 'Ghora Katora' translates to 'horse's bowl' in English, which is said to be derived from its shape resembling a horse trough. The lake is a part of the Rajgir Wildlife Sanctuary and is encircled by forested hills, making it a picturesque destination for nature lovers and peace seekers. It is also associated with several legends and historical narratives from the time of the Mahabharata, adding to its allure as a site of heritage and mythology.
