Photos Of Ranisar and Padamsar Lakes

Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India
The Ranisar and Padamsar Lakes are two historically significant and interconnected water bodies situated at the base of the towering Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur. These lakes were not merely decorative but were vital components of the ancient water management system for the parched Marwar region. Rani sar Lake was commissioned in 1459 by Queen Jasmade Hadi, the wife of Rao Jodha, the founder of Jodhpur. Later, the adjacent Padamsar Lake was built by Queen Padmini, the daughter of Rao Ganga and granddaughter of Rana Sanga of Mewar. This dual construction highlights the foresight of the royal women in ensuring water security for the nascent city. The lakes primarily collect and store rainwater runoff from the surrounding Aravalli hills and the massive Mehrangarh Fort catchment area. They stand as a testament to the sophisticated engineering and hydrological knowledge possessed by the Rajput builders centuries ago. Even today, they hold water, particularly after the monsoon season, offering a serene contrast to the rugged desert landscape of Jodhpur. The area around the lakes, especially the adjacent Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park, features the indigenous flora and fauna of the Thar Desert, making the lakes a tranquil oasis. They are often visited together with the fort and provide stunning panoramic views of the fort, especially during sunrise and sunset, as the sun's rays reflect off the surrounding rock and water. The lakes are easily accessible from the old city area and remain an essential part of Jodhpur's cultural and ecological heritage. (Word Count: $sim$300)
