Gadsisar Lake - Excavated in 1367 by
Rawal Gadsi Singh, it is a scenic rainwater lake surrounded by small
temples and shrines. Earlier, this lake was used to be the main water
source of Jaisalmer.
A manmade reservoir, the Gadisar Lake in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan was
constructed by Raja Rawal Jaisal, the first ruler of Jaisalmer. In the
later years Maharaja Garisisar Singh rebuilt and revamped the lake.
Gadisar Lake tours transports you into a different world altogether.
You feel captured in a pleasant time warp.
Artistically carved Chattris, Temples, Shrines and Ghats surround the
banks of Gadisar Lake Jaisalmer. Located towards the south of
Jaisalmer city the entrance to the Gadisar Lake or Garsisar Tank is
through a magnificent and artistically carved yellow sandstone archway
that is known as the Tilon-Ki-Pol.
See rare migratory birds that stop for a drink at the lustrous Gadisar
Lake that reflects the mellow yellow of the picturesque sandstone
banks; enjoy a boat ride on the lake or just sit on any of the Ghats
and see the yellow sandstone banks change hues of ochre with the
setting sun, a delightful panorama that you would not miss for the
world. |
