Description

he Gadisar Lake in the city of Jaisalmer is one of the primary tourist attractions of the region, originally conceived as a water conservation tank to fulfil the water requirements of this acrid city, by the then maharaja of Jaisalmer, Maharwal Gadsi Singh, around the year 1400 AD. Being of such paramount importance, it is perhaps natural to find many shrines and temples dotting the precincts of the lake that have with time become spots of pilgrimage. The most popular among them is perhaps the Tilon Ki Pol, a yellow sandstone gateway that was made by a courtesan by the name of ‘Tilan’, despite the contempt of the Maharaja. Tilon dedicated the structure to the Lord Satyanarayan, or Krishna, by placing the statue of Vishnu in the year 1908, which resulting in its declaration as a Krishna Temple, and despite the King’ repeated attempts, ensured its subsequent survival.
