Salt Lake India’s largest ephemeral inland salt lake, the
Sambhar Lake is situated in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
Water from four seasonal rivers and numerous
streams reacts with lake sediments and becomes
brine, which takes 50 days to evaporate, leaving
behind crystallised salt. It is also designated
Ramsar Site number 464 and attracts tens of
thousands of flamingos and other migratory birds
from Northern Asia and Siberia. Resourcesat-2 LISS
