Kolayat Lake is in which district?

Explanation

Kolayat Lake belongs to Bikaner district, and that district link is the point the MCQ tests. Rajasthan Tourism places Kolayat on its Bikaner page and describes it as an important Hindu pilgrimage place, about 50 kilometres from Bikaner. The source also names the sacred lake among Kolayat's main attractions, along with temples, ghats and the town market. This matches the standard exam explanation: Kolayat is treated as a sacred site, and the Kolayat Fair is held on Kartik Purnima. The fair context matters because Rajasthan lake questions often combine location with religious fairs; here, both clues point back to Bikaner, not to western or central Rajasthan districts such as Barmer, Nagaur or Jodhpur.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Barmer is not the Kolayat Lake district; in this option set it is associated with Pachpadra instead.
• (C) Nagaur is not the Kolayat Lake district; the given district clue for Nagaur is Didwana, not Kolayat.
• (D) Jodhpur is a separate district and the cited Rajasthan Tourism entry places Kolayat with Bikaner, not Jodhpur.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan geography through the location of lakes and pilgrimage fairs. It recurs in RAS because district-wise mapping of lakes, sacred sites and fairs is a compact way to test both physical and cultural geography.
