Amar Sagar
अमर सागर
A 17th-century lakeside retreat and a 19th-century temple with fine carvings, both on the road to Lodurva.
Amar Sagar was built in the 17th century by Maharawal Amar Singh. The lake is lined with stepped stone platforms, stone animal carvings and the Amar Singh Palace, a retreat that stands by the water. The Jain temple on the lakeshore was built in 1871, and its white and yellow sandstone carvings are delicate. It is one of the quieter temples in the desert. The lake often dries up during the dry season. A small entry fee and a camera fee apply, and the temple is open roughly 08:00 to 18:00. It is about 7 km from the town center and is usually visited on a private car tour together with Bada Bagh, Lodurva and Kuldhara.
