Visiting the Gaib Sagar Lake and the famous Shrinath ji Temple of Dungarpur

Many tourists rave about the city of Dungarpur in Rajasthan, but its own mini-paradise, the Gaib Sagar Lake deserves some love too. Dungarpur is steeped in history and is very tourist-friendly, making it an ideal spot for a weekend tour.
The Gaib Sagar Lake, located in the middle of the city, is a haven for tourists and locals looking for a respite from the mundane. The lake site is a habitation for ample ducks, grey and purple herons, purple moorhens, egrets, white-breasted waterhens, green pigeons and bee-eaters.

The lake appears beautiful in the evening during the sundown when the solar orb begins setting beyond the hills. There are boating facilities for visitors to explore the lake.


What else to do?

The temple shrine of Shrinathji or Lord Krishna is located close to the lake. It has a very appealing life-sized idol of Lord Shrinathji and Goddess Radhika. There are images of Sita-Rama and other deities inside the temple that are offered daily worship. The shrine made out of ivory white marble stands out on the banks of the lake, beckoning everyone who seeks peace and blessings in life. There are 52 more small shrines dotting the area.

Tourists may also explore the Vijay Raj Rajeshwar Temple, Badal Mahal and Udai Bilas Palace that are located close to the lake site.
