My expedition of desert had come to culmination. I was again
busy with the mundane drudgery and with the initial enthusiasm, my curiosity
was reaching to bereavement as I don’t like to stay inside four walls under a
roof. I strongly sense that the realm is not inside the concrete walls but it
is outside which I want to see and involve. Its callousness which is more gorgeous
than the Miss World and its mollycoddle nature which is not less than cosset of
a mother.
So clandestinely with my driver I escaped to see nature’s
beauty pooled with the human touch. I touched this lake which is just outside
the Alwar city in Rajasthan. It is known as Siliserh Lake. The best time to go
to this lake is in evening an hour before sunset so that you can see the sensitivity
of sun in the clear water of the lake. It is located in the Valley of Aravali
Mountains. As you close down to the lake after crossing couple of village, you
find yourself between the two mountains covered with forest. On your left in
evening, you will find the sun setting down, and the sun rays overwhelming the
mountains.
As the lake appears, you can’t believe that there can be
something so comforting in world. Very serene atmosphere, and even in the life-threatening
heat, the wind blowing above the lake will relax you. There is a palace at the
end of the road, which can be also said as the perfect view point to see the
lake. The palace was made by the king of Alwar, and it was like a guest house
for him, whenever he come to that region for hunting. The palace has now a
museum which will clear all your doubts about the history. There is a dam on
the lake and the water is used for irrigation from the ancient times itself. I felt
it was such a good concept developed by the king.
Words are not good enough to describe the experience of this
place. It is a must visit place.
