Amar Sagar

Location: 7 K.M. in the western outskirts of Jaisalmer
How to reach: Hire a cab or share an Auto-rickshaw
Attractions: Lake and a Palace

Located adjacent to the famous Amar Sagar Lake and south of Lodurva, there is a Jain Temple dedicated to Lord Parshwanath, called Adeshwar Nath Jain temple. It was built by Patwa Bafna Himmat Ram in 1928. Amar Sagar once was a water reservoir (particularly an artificial lake) but now it is mostly dry.

Beautifully crafted and designed, the temple looks astonishing with its intricate hand carvings and small domes. The golden architecture adorned with Jaisalmeri stones shines gorgeously during the day and is a key attraction of the place. The structure is a masterpiece in itself and one of its sections on outside looks unique with its ivory marble exteriors. Inside the temple, there are various figurines of animals and Lord Tirthankara.

There are two other temples near Adeshwar Nath Jain temple, each of which is beautiful with its unique elements. Old step-wells, galleries and latticed walls are a common sight around this place. One can hire a cab or a rickshaw to reach there.
