Kaylana is an artificial lake situated 8 km west of Jodhpur. This lake was built by Pratap Singh in 1872. The lake spreads over an area of 84 sq km. In ancient times this region had palaces and gardens made by two rulers of Jodhpur - Bhim Singh and Takhat Singh. These were destroyed to make Kalyana Lake.
