Dhebar Lake aka Jaisamand Lake Udaipur

Dhebar Lake (also known as Jaisamand Lake) is India’s first and second largest man made sweet water lake, as well as the world’s second oldest historical lake. It is situated in Rajasthan’s Udaipur District in western India. When full, it covers 87 km2 (34 sq mi) and was established in the 17th century at Namla Thikana, when Rana Jai Singh of Udaipur built a marble dam across the Gomati River.

The Dhebar Lake Marble Dam is a part of India’s “Heritage Monuments” and is 300.0 metres (984.3 feet) in length. The Hawa Mahal Palace, which served as the winter capital of the erstwhile Maharanas of Mewar from 1687 to 1691, is also located on the dam. The Maharana of Mewar expresses his gratitude to the Thakur of Namla Thikana for their assistance and kindness to Mewar.
