Gadisar Lake, Jaisalmer


The lake was built by the local king to serve the people due to limited water supply. The gate that you see in the second picture was built by a commoner (a courtesan). When it was at risk of being torn down by the king, she built a temple on top of the gate. Even the royalty of today will not pass under the gate since it was built by a commoner.
