About

Dhebar Lake is India's second largest artificial fresh water lake in India. It is located in the Salumber District of Rajasthan State in western India. It has an area of 87 km2 (34 sq mi) when full, and was created at Namla Thikana (rathore-patvi) in the 17th century, when Rana Jai Singh of Udaipur built a marble dam across the Gomati River. It is about 19 km from the district headquarters of Salumbar. When first built, it was the largest artificial lake in the world. The surrounding Jaisamand Wildlife Sanctuary around Dhebar Lake can be reached by the state highway to Banswara from Udaipur.
