Gulab Sagar
गुलाब सागर
An 18th-century stepped reservoir beside the Clock Tower, surrounded by old houses and temples, with views toward Mehrangarh Fort.
Gulab Sagar is a reservoir built in 1788 by Gulab Rai, favorite consort of Maharaja Vijay Singh of Jodhpur. Sandstone steps line its sides, and a smaller lake called Little Gulab Sagar lies beside it. Since its restoration, the lakeside has become a place where old-city residents take their evening walks. It can be reached on foot from the Clock Tower, Sardar Market and Toorji Ka Jhalra, making it easy to link into a half-day old-city tour. Entry is free. Keep an eye on your belongings.
