The beautiful gateway known as Tillon ki prol, which arches across the road down to the lake, was built by a royal courtesan named Tillon at the end of 19th century.   An idol of Lord Vishnu was installed on the gate by a courtesan and declared as the Krishna Temple in 1908 A.D.to save it from demolition by the then Maharwal..
Artistically carved Chattris, temples, shrines and ghats, verdant gardens surround the banks of this lake, making it an ideal picnic spot.   Famous for boating, from here you can capture the “substance and the splendor” of the Jaisalmer Fort, glinting golden in the munificent rays of the sun.
