This tank outside the city walls, and in the olden days it was the main source of town's water supply. The lake is surrounded by small temples and shrines. A wide variety of waterfowl flock here in winter.
This lake located at the South of city is a natural low-land was dammed to catch every drop of rain water.
The beautiful arched gateway through which one can reach this lake is known as Teelon-ki Gate as it was constructed in 19th century by a very famous courtesan named Teelon. This is constructed with yellow sandstone and at the top of the gate is a small temple.

Another great tour, Rajesh. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Rajesh....Your country has some of the most magnificent structures I have ever seen, and the way you capture them for us week after week is amazing. I adore your blog: the pictures, the commentary, and the history you share with us. It i always a treat to see your name in the list of posters. The lake is beautiful, but the intricately carved tank is awesome. What a treat for the eyes. G
As usually I admire the miracles of your country!
So much beauty. I love the arches and the details you showed on the first shot were great.
The first shot is perfectly framed!

Have a great weekend.

Beautiful first shot from the arch.
Did you fed the fish there?
A great place. A musician who performs there has been featured in many coffee table books. I too have a shot. :)
There seems to be no end to the industry of the people of your land. I can't get over the buildings and other construction, like this lake.
Your country is so beautiful... Thanks for this sharing : I feel like I'm traveling everytime I visit your blog... This lake is really amazing, and the architecture of this kiosk is so cute...
such a beautiful place. my favourite is the first one.
This has to be the nicest looking water tower I've ever seen!

Beautiful. The architecture of the buildings are absolutely amazing. Gorgeous captures.
I am so enjoying seeing India through your eyes. That first photo, with the arch framing the arched gazebo is my favorite, but I'd love to see any of the places you've shared.
All your pretty treasures catches my heart.
Love all building details, the form, the colour combo... etc etc.
Hope to visit here one day & see the reflection personally.
Happy SSS, my friend.

Beautiful....
Happy Sunday and a good week ahead!
I have seen this place in some songs! It looks like a great place for both nature and manmade marvelous. Wonderful capture Rajesh!
Another wonderful destination, Rajesh.
We love to go boating, as you know, but I almost can't imagine just leisurely boating around that Lake with all those beautiful temples and shrines right around. It almost seems like it would be wrong to just be out having a good time instead of being reverent and in awe.
So pretty!
Would you please drop by and see my shadows? Would love to see you!
really beautiful place....
Beautiful details!
Come see my blues, have a great week ahead.
I am now following your blog.
How lovely it looks !
You never fail to amaze us with your beautiful photos. Happy Blue Monday.
Mine's here.
Thanks to all for appreciating this scenic lake and architecture.
Thanks for sharing these. Have a great WW! :-)
This is very interesting. India is very different in many ways from the USA, where I live. It is nice to get a glimpse of the other side of the world
really beautiful.
Rajesh, that is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this amazing spot.
The place is beautiful! I have a friend who lived in India for quite few years and he enjoyed his stay there!

WOW!i'm looking forward to visit the place :)

Jaisalmer is indeed a lovely place. Had been there ages back and was too young to appreciate the art of photography though
Yep. Jaisalmer is a very beautiful place. Went there last year and did boating in the lake. But it was kinda hot in october. Liked the story about Teelon gate.:)
Enchanting, looks very beautiful!
Sadly when we were in Jaisalmer, the lake was dry. Lovely pictures.
Seeing this for the first time.. good pics.
Thanks to all for appreciating this scenic lake and architecture.
