Approximately 85 Km from the bustling city of Jaipur lies the vast saline wetland of Sambhar Lake. Around the lake, there is the Sambhar town, a fusion of narrow lanes, heritage architecture and Colourful bazaars, cinematic havelis, colonial era offices and above all lively people in colourful turbans. Many Bollywood movies like Delhi – 6, Gangs of Wasseypur and more have been shot in this town.
There is a 20th century town hall full of books and colonial surveys, college students use it as library. Aside from architecture the town is famous for its sweet delicacy ‘the feeni’ which can be found at sweet shops all around the town. Small carts drawn by donkeys can be found in the market giving the town reminding us of the bygone era.
Historical legend of Goddess Shakambari
Sambhar town is believed to have been founded in the 6th century AD by Raja Vasudev of the Chauhan dynasty, who was a devotee of Goddess Shakambari. According to legend, impressed by the devotion of the Chauhan kings, Shakambari Devi transformed a forested area into a plain of precious jewels. Concerned that this would cause strife, locals prayed to the Goddess, who then turned the jewels into a salt lake. This is how Sambhar Salt Lake is said to have originated. A temple dedicated to Shakambari Devi overlooks the lake and hosts a popular fair in August.
Later the salt lake became an important location along the silk route connecting Jaipur to Jaisalmer. Many traders used to stop here and exchanged salt for other goods. There is a famous legend of Lakhi Banjara who had a large carvan of camels, his songs are still sung in the town on cultural occasions. A well-established salt market existed here with 600 salt traders at its peak.
In 1709, the salt lake itself was so vast that it was divided between the Rajput Kingdoms of Jaipur & Marwar. The rulers of Jaipur and Jodhpur jointly owned the lake, and in the year 1870 Sambhar Lake was leased to the British.
