Udaipur, also known as the Venice of the east, is known for its lakes and lake palaces. Out of the 5 major lakes in the historical lake city, the Jaisamand Lake is considered to be the second largest artificial fresh water lake in Asia. Locally, this lake is also called Dhebar, and is about 48 kms away from Udaipur. It is a manmade lake built in the year 1685 by Maharaja Jai Singh when he was constructing a dam on the river Gomti. It gets its water from 9 rivers and 99 water canals.
The magnificent and ancient dam near the lake cannot skip a mention because of its massive spread. Located right in the centre of the dam is a temple of Lord Shiva built by the kings of Mewar. The temple is a proof of the fact that Mewar kings were religious. There are seven islands in this lake, out of which one is still occupied by the Bhil Minas tribe.
As a backdrop to the lake, is the charming summer palace of Udaipur Queens. On its banks stand 6 beautifully carved marble cenotaphs. On its northern shore is another stunning palace that has a courtyard, and its southern shore has a pavilion with 12 pillars. The courtyard of the palace offers you an enchanting view of Jaisamand Lake.
Graceful marble steps lead you to the waters of the lake. You also get to enjoy a boat ride here, as this is a wonderful place to unburden and relax. Close to this lake is a sanctuary, where various birds, deer, leopards, panthers, crocodiles and wild boars have been dwelling peacefully since 1957 when it was built. This sanctuary covers an area of 63 sq m and boasts of a wide variety of birds and animals. Presently, this place serves as a game sanctuary.
