On this edge auspicious activity happen. From here A full natural view of lake can be seen. It will be an opportunity to celebrate more festival on waterfront.

Intervention will be based on mainly two level-

1. Micro level – on this level every small activity will be focused as per lake function. How local public of jodhpur city can take more advantage of a natural place ? For that i am thinking that there can be added more activities and experienced space so people can come for different activities and spend more time.

2. Building level – there are some indoor activities those are not possible in open space so there is a need of different type of space. In those activities there can be indoor sport, reading area, meditation area, food court and cultural activities.
