Gadisar Lake is a man-made reservoir in Jaisalmer (State: Rajasthan) built in 1367 by Maharaja Gadsi Singh Ji. This is a scenic place where one can go for boating.
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.

ReplyDeleteWe 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.
