• Founder: Gadisar Lake was originally built in the 14th century by Maharawal Gadsi Singh, the then ruler of Jaisalmer.

• Purpose: It served as the main water conservation reservoir for the entire city before modern pipelines existed.

• Over the centuries, it became not only a lifeline for Jaisalmer’s people but also a spiritual and cultural hub.
