Sambhar lake

India / Rajasthan / Nawa / Sanbhar Lake, (Jaipur)
Sambhar Lake, situated in the Indian state of Rajasthan, is a place where horizons stretch to infinity, where water and sky merge in a shimmer of gauzy blue. Civilization here goes back a long, long time and legends abound. According to one reference in the epic Mahabharata, Raja Yayati, emperor of Bharatvarsh (India) and a descendant of Lord Brahma the Creator, married Devyani, daughter of Shukracharya (the guru of demons) who lived by the lake.

According to another legend, the Goddess Shakambhari bestowed the lake upon the people of the area some 2,500 years ago. A small glimmering white temple in her honor stands under a rocky outcrop jutting into the lake. The locals will insist that you visit her temple before doing anything else. by hari makar
