Nawal Sagar's monsoon magic

Nawal Sagar is an elegant man-made waters that lies at the centre of Bundi in Rajasthan. Surrounding it are striking structural marvels such as Taragarh Fortress, places of worship, and havelis established by Maharaja Bundi himself through the 16th-century. Monsoon season brings even greater character as raindrops overflow onto its surface and reflect off nearby structures creating an astounding image that must be seen to believe!

Nawal Sagar is an extraordinary man-made waters that stands as testament to Bundi's abundant age-old heritage and structural splendour. Found at its core, this well-known landmark stands as an icon for this historically key part of the country. Maharaja Ummed Singh crafted this extraordinary rectangular waters in Bundi, Rajasthan, measuring 229 feet wide by 983 feet long. The outstanding present of this incredible rectangular waters created by Maharaja Ummed Singh is its shrine dedicated to Lord Varuna (Hindu god of water). Only accessible via boat, its dedication stands out as its most engaging present. A floating circular platform surrounds the shrine, giving it an odd and exotic appearance.
