Talwara Lake
Talwara Lake, also known as Talwara Jheel, is a seasonal lake in the arid landscape of Hanumangarh district, Rajasthan, forming during the annual monsoon flooding of the Ghaggar-Hakra River. It is considered the only lake in this dry region, appearing for just a few months each year. The area around the lake holds great historical significance as the site of the First and Second Battles of Tarain fought in 1191 and 1192 between Prithviraj Chauhan and Muhammad Ghori.
Moreover, the lake's vicinity was a resting place for Timur during his 1398-99 invasion of India. Talwara Lake supports diverse wildlife including many bird species, serving as an important refuge for resident and migratory birds, some of which are near threatened. The lake plays a vital ecological role in this dry zone and is surrounded by a small village with about 15,000 residents. It represents a unique combination of historical heritage and seasonal natural beauty in Rajasthan.
