Gadisagar Lake
The rainwater reservoir built in 1367 was once the city's sole source of water. Lined with ghats and temples it comes alive during the Gangaur festival (March/April) when the maharwal leads a procession here. The beautiful gateway leading to the tank was built by a royal courtesan Telia whose audacity so enraged the queens that they demanded its instant demolition. The quick witted Telia immediately had a statue of Krishna installed on top thereby ensuring not only that the gateway would stand but that everyone would bow before passing through it.
