An artificial lake that was build 900 years ago to provide water to Jaisalmer. Because it has a number of ghats, chhatris and Hindu shrines, it is quiet picturesque. But I think nowadays it mainly serves as a gathering place for the locals, who enjoy boat rides in yellow swan and dragon boats. As an overseas traveler, I think there are better sites to visit in the area. We went at 6 pm. The road leading to the lake is full of stones on which one can trip and fall. Area is filthy. Timings for show are not visible so nobody knows when the event will begin. We also returned with other visitors, as we learnt show hot cancelled due some reason. Definitely not for disabled people. No lights on the street so one cannot see the way. Avoidable attraction not worth the effort. However local street market and food offers variety of fare, if you do wander there! I caught it in the golden hour. Walked to it and it was serene and beautiful. I entered from the right side, which leads to the boating area. I didn’t boat since I just wanted to look at the water while the sun went down. The area right next to where the boating began was dirty and certain corners smelled of piss, so I moved to the other side which seemed to have temples so was comparatively cleaner. The sky changed colors, other folks fed bread to catfish in the water, and hundreds of pigeons sat on different monuments. It was certainly beautiful. Fun fact: This artificial reservoir once provided water to the entire Jaisalmer.
