Amar Sagar Lake Tourism
Type of destination: Historical Landmark
Ideal visit duration: 1-2 hours
Amar Sagar Lake is a picturesque water body situated approximately 7 kilometers to the northwest of the historical city of Jaisalmer in Rajasthan, India. This artificial lake forms part of the Amar Sagar complex, which also includes a series of pavilions and temples near its banks. The lake is adjacent to the Amar Sagar Palace, a beautiful five-story haveli built in the 18th century by Maharawal Amar Singh. The complex reflects the architectural brilliance of bygone eras, showcasing fine Rajputana design with intricate carvings and jharokhas (overhanging enclosed balconies). It is a part of the desert cultural heritage of Rajasthan, serving as an oasis of beauty in the arid landscape. The lake was once a water source for the region, but nowadays, it is more of a tourist attraction, promising serene views and a peaceful environment. Though conservation efforts are necessary to maintain its past splendor, Amar Sagar Lake remains a significant part of Jaisalmer's allure, offering a glimpse into the region's history and architecture.
