Water is a precious commodity in the middle of the desert. This explains why Gadsisar Lake is the jewel in the crown for the residents of Jaiselmer, which is located in the heart of the Thar Desert. For many years, it was the only reservoir supplying water to the town.
The lake is surrounded by temples and shrines, while the waters are teeming with catfish. The local guide informed us that there's an overpopulation of catfish because they're not good for eating. Sigh...guess it's time to move some Chinese chefs into Jaiselmer to solve that problem :)
