Talk:Rajsamand Lake

{{contradict}} tag: the problem

• circumference of 7.5 km
• 6 km. long
• 2.5 km wide

Really! Somebody deserves an award for excellence in proof reading, exerting themselves to the level of checking the mathematical consistency of the text. LOL. Though the above statement about the dimensions of the lake can be proven true by applying Riemannian_geometry, I will vote for its correction. Sisodia 01:51, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

If you look at the satellite view, the lake only seems about 3km long and 1/2 km wide. But it also looks as if it was once bigger. The text mentions this drying-up problem. Maybe the length and width were measured before it started to dry up, but the circumference more recently. The fix could be to add "at times" before giving the dimensions.

Man made?

So this is a man made lake? (Says built but not explicitly that it is man made.) RJFJR (talk) 13:00, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

From the Illustrated London News - 16 June 1928

"The white marble sam at Jaisamand : A colossal structure (over 1000ft long, with flights of steps, pavilions and buttresses, each supporting a marble elephant) containing the waters of one of the world's largest artificial lakes, over 90 miles in circumference, formed by Jai Singh, the Rajput King," in 1661. The work was begun in response to a great famine and pestilence and took ten years to build. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marshape (talk • contribs) 14:08, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
