Hi Amit,

just call the set method of StringVar  with the default value before you use
it. Like below

from Tkinter import*

win= Tk()

f2= Frame(win, bd = 2, relief = 'groove')

Lake_adr = StringVar()
Lake_adr.set("123")
LakeAdr = Entry(f2, textvariable = Lake_adr)

LakeAdrLabel = Label(f2, text = 'Lakeshore address')


LakeAdr.grid(row= 1, column = 0)
LakeAdrLabel.grid(row = 0, column = 0)


f2.pack()

How ever if you are only dealing with integers you can use IntVar
