A Royal Feat of EngineeringBuilt in 1685 by Maharana Jai Singh, this mind-boggling lake spans an area of over 36 square miles. The most beautiful feature of the lake is its massive marble dam.
The top of the dam is decorated with six elegant, pillared marble chhatris (domes) and a beautiful temple dedicated to Lord Shiva in the center.
Beautifully carved stone elephants with their trunks raised face the water, adding a grand, royal feel to the lakeside.
