First Light on Gadisar Lake, Jaisalmer, India

Gadisar Lake, located in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, is a man-made reservoir built by Maharawal Gadsi Singh in the 14th century. Originally it was constructed to meet the water needs of the arid region. The lake is surrounded by intricately carved temples, shrines, and ghats, with the most notable temples located on its northern shore. These temples, including the Krishna Temple and the Tilon-ki-Pol, feature exquisite architecture and are significant for both their historical and religious importance.
